Volunteer to help children in Kenya

Project Description:
The International Humanity Foundation is looking for volunteers to serve at our orphanage and education centre in Nakuru, Kenya, and to be friends and teachers to our children. By bringing together the disadvantaged children of Kenya and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both. As both sides discover more about each other, their lives and their cultures and teach their others what they learned in this exchange, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion. Our centre in Kenya also has a close relationship with the Pokot tribe and goes on regular famine feeds to support it.lease visit www.ihfonline.org or send us an email at volunteering@ihfonline.org if you want to learn more or have questions about volunteering with IHF.
