Our home is working with volunteers since
July 2003. In the meanwhile we have had many volunteers,
staying for one month up to five months. Most volunteers
have offered the children a lot of fun, attention and love.
They came with a good heart and did what they suppose to do.
They cared about the children, with a smile and sometimes a
tear. They have showered the children with love and
emotions, they have cherished their most beautiful moments
with the children. These volunteers they will never forget
the children and the children will never forget them....We
have a net work of volunteers sharing their experiences
together, they befriended one and each other. And there are
volunteers who are coming back for the second time and third
time.... If you have the right intention and you are a
flexible friendly child loving person, willing to work in a
team and you are not stucked into your luxery life then
KARIBU SANA...
There are some rules you have to respect!
* always keep in mind that you came to Kenya to assist in
the home. Let that be your priority and not to spend most of
your time to have holiday.
* please dont start relationships with staff
* what ever you think it is normal for you at home or in
Europe dont do it here. Kenya has totally different morals
and it cant be correct to show them yours !
* We are a Christian home and expect you to respect our
religion and therefore cursing or disrespecting God in any
way is not accepted !
* Christian behaviour is also appreciated in our home.
You are representing a Christian home and should be a
example to the children!
* Keep in mind that the food is not like at home and we have
dont have the means to allow us the most luxery food. To
complain about food is in a country like Kenya where people
die of hunger out of order! If you cant miss your cheese or
any favorite food for some time bring it with you or be
strong....
* it is not allowed to drink alcohol in front of the
children and not to get drunk !
* it is officially not allowed to smoke within the home.
* bear in mind that the children in our home are despite
their back ground normal children with normal problems.
* Every volunteer is different. It is good to have your own
opinion but it is not possible to change the home rules,
morals, schedule to your standard cause this will confuse
the children.
Our projects: we need volunteers to assist in our childrens
home in North Mtwapa. We have rented a big house with 6
rooms where children and volunteers live. The childrens are
between 1 and 16 years and you can meet them at the
childrens page.
If you
want to come to assist us in this home you pay a
registration fee of 150 euro and 350 euro monthly for
accommodation in the home and three meals. Coffee and tea
are included.
We also
have started another project where you can volunteer in the
home care program. We visit homes within the slums or poor
villages and bring food packages and clothes. You do assist
with taking care about the children and bring them to
school, you take care about the mother when she is sick, and
assist with hospital visits. This work is more tough then
working in the home and you must be able to deal with
sometimes sad and difficult situations. You live in one of
our bungalows with three other volunteers. Due to your work
this place will help you to release your mind when not at
work. The cost is a bit higher cause it is quiet luxery.
registration fee 150 euro incl transfers to the home or
bungalows return.
Kenyan simcard with call credit & Handguide for volunteers.
Monthtly fee 450 euro incl 3 meals, coffee and tea included.
Drinking water nog included.
If you think that you are
the right person and share our thoughs you are most welcome
to spend a unforgetable time with us!
