name  

Rural Primary school. Small town close to Nairobi. Volunteer classroom assistant


The school is situated near Kikuyu town, 45 minutes drive away from Nairobi’s city centre. Started at a child rescue and a rehabilitation centre a number of years ago, the school has swerved through odds with an aspiration of creating an oasis of knowledge and hope to orphaned and vulnerable children in the area. Kikuyu is one of the up coming towns at the outskirts of Nairobi. With a climate pattern that is characterized by warm sunny mornings and chilly nights, Kikuyu is beautiful, tropical and green all year round. The society embraces a culture that cradles between ancient tradition and modernity – a perfect place to experience Kenyan country life not far away from full blown civilization.

  

placement   The school’s needs are many and diverse. The school lacks proper desks and classrooms amongst other things. Therefore in addition to teaching, a volunteer could take on initiatives, such as buying timber (which is very cheap) and nail them together to make better desks, paint the school, offer counseling to children who are also deprived emotionally, thus in dire need of brotherly, sisterly, fatherly or motherly love. Because foods like rice and beans are cheap in Kenya, one could initiate a feeding program for school and give the children energy to take on the next lesson in class with a wider concentration span, sharpen their knowledge and give them hope for a better future. Day to day work would be teaching individuals as well as in groups. The school would be flexible and allow you to help in anyway that you would find comfortable. Like most schools in Kenya, anything you can offer will benefit them!

our view  

Best for groups of people who wishing to take on different endeavors in a needy school.

  
local activities  

Though Kikuyu town is developing rapidly, there are much extra curriculum activities one can take upon. This is however no problem since Nairobi is only 45 minute away. Many who have visited East African cities, have an impression that, “Nairobi is East Africa’s hub of fun”.
The city is awash with standard fun bobbling joints for the young and the old alike.
Nairobi is the only city in the world where one can go for a game drive in the wild, thus, weekends out to the Nairobi National Park could be in order. There is also the Nairobi Safari Walk, Animal orphanage, a giraffe and an elephant sanctuary, where one could get to kiss a giraffe lip to lip. For a cultural night out a visit to the Bomas of Kenya, will leave you thrilled and educated about various Kenyan traditional cultures, music and history.
