Hi,
This is Jay, from Volunteer4Free Kenya. We are seeking volunteers to help teach English to primary school pupils in Nairobi's Soweto slums, as well as visit, teach, and play games with children at Nairobi's main public hospital (Kenyatta National Hospital). Our program is supervised by coordinators with several years of experience in hosting international volunteers in Africa, and we offer both short and long-term volunteer placements (e.g. three weeks to six months).
Volunteers with our program will have the opportunity to teach English in both small group and whole class settings with our slum school reading program. Additionally, they will be responsible for organizing games in the children's wards at Kenyatta National Hospital, helping to organize the children for teaching sessions; and also assigned specific patients to visit.
A basic background in English is required for participation. Also, we do request a background check (e.g. CRB, or "good conduct certificate") for screening due to the nature of our work, i.e. with children. But beyond that, not much else is required in the way of qualifications.
Our program also offers budget accommodation (roughly $30 a week) to volunteers, and is a great way to travel Africa and make an impact in the process.
If you are interested in volunteering in Kenya for free, please write to the following email address now to apply: volunteer4freekenya@gmail.com. You can also check us out on the web at the following website: http://volunteer4freekenya.kbo.co.ke/home.
Thanks for caring enough to volunteer.
