The Experience
The organization offers charity work to the children from the slums and streets. The number of the children keep increasing every day and since we rent the premise the space is limited.We are currently constructing a school to serve over 1500 children with each class being independent and not shared. Due to the lack of finance to hire constructors we appeal to the travellers to help in the construction of the school that serves the community.

Alice, the director of the organization School, is an incredible woman who works many hours a day for the well-being of those children. She teaches and also takes care of everything needed for the best function of the school. The building is great and children are absolutely lovely. This is a great opportunity for many children who live in that area of the slum. The work that teachers, cleaners, cooks are doing is priceless and I admire them a lot. All the best for everyone.

I' ve spend 6 days in the organization fundation with my friend Pili. The experience was amazing , we ' ve been hosted in Alice' s house during the volunteering , she and her sons were so kind and helpfull. We spend really good time helping with the school and in our free time on the weekend we have been also around the city, in the church and was very very nice also these moments. For us they are our new African family , we will keep them always in our hearts.

No puedo estar más contenta tras mi paso por el voluntariado de Alice. Estoy súper agradecida de haber podido observar el gran trabajo que hacen en la escuela y en el orfanato. El trato es inmejorable tanto allí como en la casa y he podido tener total libertad para conocer este país de una manera preciosa. Era mi primer voluntariado y viaje sola y repetiría sin duda. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.

I highly recommend Blanca to the whole world. She is a very hardworking ,kind, and cooperative young person. Her choosing to pay the homestay helped our charity work and she is a witness to what Iam talking about. We organized a very appealing safari for her and she liked it very much. Thank you for understanding and choosing us. You are welcome to Kenya anytime

La experiencia en la organización fue muy especial tanto por los voluntarios y coordinadores del proyecto como por la cantidad de niños que necesitan un soporte para continuar con su aprendizaje , siempre con una sonrisa y ganas de compartir. Alice y su familia nos trataron como parte de la familia , volveremos sin duda a la organización y seguiremos en contacto con ellos para siempre. Recomiendo a todos los voluntarios que se animen a pasar un tiempo en este maravilloso proyecto ya que necesitan mucha ayuda ,te harán sentir como en casa e involucraran en su cultura como uno más ; )
