Hello, I am Anna from Italy. I am a medical student so I chose to volunteer in the medical field in Kenya. The place is a small clinic in Mitaboni, a village not too far from Nairobi where people often cannot pay for their medications, which is why volunteering is important. The clinic is run by a doctor that is very prepared and some lab test are available that can give immediate diagnosis for the patient. I saw some common diseases as well as some more challenging such as malaria. During the stay I was hosted by a family in a rural house with lots of animals in Mathunya which is a 15 minutes drive from the clinic. There are many kids and they like to play a lot which was fun. The food is provided as well and I really liked it. I stayed at the clinic from 9 am till 4 pm and during the time without patients I would go around the village and meet many people. The trip from the airport to the village was also well organized. Overall I would recommend this as it is a very full immersive experience in the beautiful Kenyan culture and there is a lot to be learnt. Feel free to contact me for any question!
