About the experience in: Mbita, Kenya
Spain
Estuve en Nissii Christian Academy como profesora. Jacob, el director del proyecto, nos hospedó en su casa (a menos de 1 km del colegio) y se encargó de que no nos faltara de nada. Estuve muy bien y todo el mundo fue muy agradable. Aunque en el colegio falta organización de cómo pueden ayudar los voluntarios porque lo que realmente falta no es mano de obra sino recursos económicos.

My experience at Mbita with the Nissii Christian Academy was transformative. Seeing children with so many needs who enjoy small things like sharing their school break with us or playing soccer with so much joy is something that I will never forget.
Jacob and his family were excellent hosts, always taking care of us. We were able to tour the different neighborhoods of the city and even be in contact with several local families.
Without a doubt it was a super enriching experience. Thank you and we will see you again soon :)

The school needs help both external and internal. Teachers are wonderful and doing the best job they can do under the circumstances. We definitely enjoyed being apart of helping Nissii Academy to start to have sustainable development programs. Improvements all around will provide the school, the teachers and community a chance to advance and create opportunities for everyone to make a living. We appreciate Jacob and Lavender for their hospitality.

Our experience with Dr. Jacobs, Nicci Christian Academy and his family was life changing. He and his family were very inviting and thoughtful. They welcomed our family with open arms and our children played together everyday. We indulged in local cuisine and traditions. It was so good to break down cultural barriers and stereotypes on both ends. More than anything, our time at the Christian Academy was moving and inspiring. The children(as well as the teachers and Dr. Jacobs) were excited, thirsty for knowledge and open and willing to receive our family, our suggestions, and our ideas.

Jacob and Lavender were great host. The school has some amazing teachers there making major moves with the students. The community of Mbita Nyanza is very underfunded and everyone is trying to make some money. Sitting on Lake Victoria, you have beautiful scenery that you wake up to everyday. Please expect to raise funds for things needed for the school. We were able to get many things accomplished. Uniforms, desks, mats, payroll for a month, socal media presence, a sustainable development project, but more importantly, the process to help those in need. Real change happens here.
