Last Updated: January 15, 2024

Mount Kenya stands above a stunning panorama of forested hills, patchwork farms, and woodland savanna, making Kenya a terrific spot to explore. It spans the equator and is lapped by the Indian Ocean. The huge savannas were studded with large animal herds. In the tropical area, mountains with snow-capped peaks. The core and color of the world are traditional peoples. Mountains, deserts, tribal cultures, and beaches may all be found in Kenya. It's also known for its national parks, which are home to a diverse range of animals. Kenya's cornerstone is tourism, but the nation also has a robust educational system, as well as an independent judiciary and press.

These initiatives are being carried out in a Kenyan school. Education in Africa is not as sophisticated as it is in affluent countries. Africa's nations are still making modest progress. Education is inadequate, academic institutions are in bad shape, and students learn beneath the shade of trees in certain areas. Schools lack textbooks and other facilities. There are few teachers that can handle large groups of youngsters. This is why we provide chances for volunteers to come in and assist as teachers. Volunteers will get experience on this side as well as assist in teaching and other school activities. It's always an experience for volunteers, and it opens their eyes to the rest of the globe.

Volunteer’s Roles Responsibilities and Activities

English, Math, Social Studies, Religious Education, Science, and other disciplines are taught by volunteers. Volunteers have complete autonomy over the subjects they teach and can teach as many as they choose. At the conclusion of the day, volunteers are free to coordinate sports and arts. During this time, many volunteers choose to tutor some pupils. Many volunteer teachers build strong bonds with their children, and they are frequently requested to join their families in festivities or to accompany them on activities outside of school. Despite their poverty, Kenyan youngsters are exceedingly kind, and volunteers will always feel warm and welcomed.
