Description

The Global Volunteer Network currently has opportunities to help develop communities through our partner organization in Kenya.

Volunteers have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of work, including education and training for children from under-privileged backgrounds and HIV/AIDS education and counselling.

Through this program, volunteers will have a chance to make a personal contribution and connection to the people of Kenya. You have the opportunity to help children in need.

Children who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, children who have been abused by their parents and children whose parents are not able to provide for them. These kids need love, attention, life skills, and education so they can have successful futures free from poverty and filled with the same opportunities as others. As a volunteer you will be a mentor by becoming a big brother or sister to kids in a children's home.

You will work alongside local staff to help with classroom teaching and homework help, childcare, and the daily operational running of the home. Volunteers are also encouraged to initiate their own work by organizing arts and crafts, music, dance, games, sports activities, and day trips for the children.

Volunteers for this program must:

* Be 18 years or older
