Durante décadas, Kenia ha atraído a amantes de la vida silvestre, viajeros aventureros y artistas amantes de la naturaleza, ya que es un país lleno de paisajes únicos y un gran patrimonio cultural. Pero, lamentablemente, gran parte de su población se encuentra en situaciones de pobreza y penuria económica que impide que sus hijos accedan a una educación de calidad.
Esta necesidad ha generado que muchas organizaciones y comunidades busquen herramientas y posibles soluciones a este problema, que faciliten la vida diaria de estas personas vulnerables. Adventure Volunteer, es una de estas asociaciones, que apoya a comunidades vulnerables en Kenia a través del programa de voluntariado de refuerzo y apoyo escolar para niños y jóvenes de escasos recursos. Creemos que al servir a los niños de estas comunidades, podemos empoderarlos para que tengan como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida y luchar contra la desventaja social que enfrentan a diario.
Como voluntario en Kenia, debes tener en cuenta que no tenemos suficiente personal para hacer frente a la demanda de trabajo que tenemos actualmente. Esperamos que nuestros voluntarios traigan nuevas ideas y metodologías de enseñanza que motiven a nuestros niños y jóvenes a seguir aprendiendo y construir un futuro mejor para ellos.
Trabajamos principalmente con niños de entre 3 y 8 años por las mañanas y niños de entre 9 y 14 años por las tardes . Los voluntarios interesados en brindar educación sexual y emocional colaborarán con niños pequeños de entre 10 y 21 años. Las clases se organizan en las siguientes materias:
- Inglés, Matemáticas, Informática y Deportes
- Actividades de arte, danza y música
- Charlas de salud e higiene
- Clases de cocina, Pintura, Jardinería
- Espacios de narración y teatro
- Colaborar en las tareas de limpieza y mantenimiento del centro
- Asistir al personal de los centros
Todo lo anterior se complementará con actividades de ocio y tiempo libre que busquen promover la integración socioeducativa, la tolerancia y la solidaridad en los niños que habitan estas comunidades.
Typical day
The volunteering facility is at about 5 to 20 minutes walk distance from the host family you will be staying with.
A volunteer's day starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m., although this may vary depending on the task to be performed by the volunteer.

Free-time activities
One of the ways to get to know a country is to make a trip, but not just a trip, a different trip; where you can know, live and feel the true essence of that country and its people. You can do this through volunteering in Kenya: visiting and getting to know the very rich culture of the Maasai tribe, join local Safaris, or enjoy some of the bustling markets and delicious cuisine Nairobi has to offer.
