Madventurer Kenya community project 06/03/10 first 2 weeks - Latest feedback from our Kenya volunteers:
Tara Dickinson - Amazing felt very welcome.Seeing the first classroom being painted it was a great feeling giving the kids a better learning experience.
Support & advice - Brilliant always answered my questions.Really informative helped me a lot in preparing due to the trip notes.
Overseas crew - d*** & Nic were always getting involved and helping us improve our techniques in our work.They were great so much fun, very good at organising things and very happy they were my crew.So approachable always able to ask questions.
Most memorable moment - At the end of my time in Karunga we had a celebration and it felt so nice to be appreciated and have worked with such great people.I loved every minute of it apart from the food which was rather repetitive but I could see how hard it is to cook and that d*** was trying to change it.The school was fantastic and really welcoming.
Day in the life of a Mad Kenya volunteer - Wake up early to eat some breakfast and enjoy the surroundings as we walked to the school.Once we got to the school we got stuck in with whatever needed doing.Then "chai time" (tea break) which was a great break.Back to work before lunchtime where it was hard not to fall asleep and then back to school for more work, maybe some volleyball, a drink at the bar and a great evening of relaxation and laughter.
