The Experience
My name is Cosmus Mwema Wendo. I started Ebenezer Academy in 2006 after I noticed there were many children not going to school due to poverty. I started by helping 3 orphans and the other people who joined were paying little fees to maintain the teachers. Now I.I'm helping more than 30 children in the school . It is my hope that I will get volunteers who are compassionate and who loves children a lot especially the orphans and needy children.

Sadly it wasn't the experience I was looking for. I hugely admire Cosmus for his commitment to his children and to his farm work, it is truly admirable, but the organisation and implementation of a volunteering project needs more structure and planning. The school is very disorganised, with most rooms having no teacher, work to do or structure, and without any guidance for volunteers, the children were sadly uninterested in engaging or wanting to learn so I found this frustrating. Perhaps it would get better with a longer visit, but sadly I was only able to stay/teach for a couple of days.
