The program schedule;
Week 1: City - Stay in Nairobi for a week and conduct outreach programs in Kibera, with street kids and at a HIV program. Volunteers stay at the volunteer house and explore the city. At the weekend, they will be taken on the Nairobi Animal City excursion.
Week 2: Beach - Participants will be lucky enough to live at a beach house in stunning Watamu! Every day, until lunchtime, they will volunteer at a local orphanage, clinic or school. Once the work day is over, they will have time to relax at the beach and even go snorkelling! They will also get to visit the wonderful city of Mombasa!
Week 3: Countryside - One of the main projects in Kenya is within the Internally Displaced People (refugee) camp in Mai Mahiu. Volunteers will stay with a host family and take on one of the many important tasks at the IDP. At the weekend volunteers will visit Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha National Park.
Week 4: Massai Mara - The hardest but most rewarding week of the program. Volunteers will stay at a mud hut in the middle of the Massai Mara while building a school for local children. To top it all off they will finish the experience with a three day safari in the Massai Mara.
