The Experience
The main objective of this activity is not only to improve talents but also to having children interact positively by creating friendships as well as a space to learn about peace building. As an example copied by adults, this social cohesion of children through sport is affecting even parents that are obliged to live in peaceful cohabitation so we are looking for Sport Coaches especily for Football, Baseball5, Tchoukball, Dodgeball.

Volunteering in Kakuma is not for the fainthearted, but so worth it. There's heat, dust and life overall is much less comfortable than at your home. However, volunteering with PDRI has been truly inspiring for me (tip: I made a 6 min film about it!). The members will undoubtedly welcome you with open arms. I've met so many interesting people in this multicultural environment. The PDRI team will take good care of you in terms of safety and giving you information about how to get to Kakuma and how to behave once you're there. It's good to know that you will sleep in Kakuma town, not in the camp.

This experience was transformative. The PDRI team is composed of Camp residents who volunteer their time and resources to maintain and expand a the project Center. Very committed and empowered group. Over 300+ ethnic groups, so the opportunity to live diversity is unparalleled. My role was Cross-Cultural Trainer. I helped PDRI conduct needs assessment interviews with the community leaders and deliver training. I stayed at a guest house in town. Weather and overall conditions are not easy. Talk to Pascal first to see if this is for you. If you like grassroots capacity building, please consider.

¡Mi primer voluntariado dentro de un campo de refugiados! Concretamente en Kakuma1, con mi pareja. Durante 2 semanas formamos al personal del proyeto Iniciative (PDRI) en administración, gestión de proyectos y de voluntariado, crowdfunding, redes sociales, etc. También hicimos actividades lúdicas y educativas con niños refugiados, y tuvimos una reunión muy interesante con mujeres refugiadas (el tema mujer es prioritario). Recomiendo primero observar, para luego ayudar en este contexto multiétnico. Nos hubiera gustado más tiempo para conocer historias de vida. Thanks!

Mi pareja y yo hemos tenido el gusto de ser los primeros voluntarios para the project (PDRI). Durante 2 semanas hemos ayudado a la capacitacion de su staff (control financiero, marketing de redes sociales, crowdfunding, gestión de voluntarios, etc) así como el entretenimiento y educación de sus niños (juegos, canciones, bailes, etc). Ellos nos han aportado un entorno único y multicultural en Kakuma Refugee Camp 1. Hemos echado en falta pasar más tiempo conociendo la vida e historias de más refugiados, recomendamos a próximos voluntarios que aprovechen esto.
