Hi, 

This is Jay, from Volunteer4Free Kenya.  I am a coordinator for a free (day) volunteer program based out of Nairobi.  The primary focus of our program (set to start February 2012) is teaching English to needy children at a slum primary school.  Also, volunteers will have an opportunity to visit patients at the main hospital in the city (KNH), where there are a number of activities to get involved with.

Finally, Volunteer4Free volunteers will have a chance to help refugees from various East African countries (e.g. Burundi, Rwanda, the Congo, etc.) learn to speak English, with reading and writing as secondary emphases.  (Unlike with the primary school, the refugees are all adults learning English as their second, third, or fourth language.)

Volunteer4Free Kenya can offer limited and basic accommodation for a few volunteers at a time, though, depending on space, volunteers may also need to source their own accommodation.  (We suggest prospective volunteers inquire about available accommodation space when writing in.  Alternatively, we can help volunteers source nearby hotel or guest house accommodation within the range of $10-$20 a night.)

We also provide free (basic) food for all participants volunteering with our program.  (Individuals with more advanced dietary standards will need to look after their own special food requirements, however.)

For more information about volunteer opportunities with Volunteer4Free Kenya, please write to Jay or Jude at the following email address: volunteer4freekenya@gmail.com.  Thank you.

Regards, 

Jay
