Hello !! I partecipated in the Childcare program in Kenya, volunteering at Makimei Children's Home for two months (feb-march) and it has been a life changing experience. I was looking for an experience like this post graduation and as soon as I read about it, I contacted the organization which has promotly replied to all my requests and then guided me through the booking. Also while staying in Kenya they were reaching out to make sure I was ok and it was all going well. When I arrived at Nairobi airport, our local coordinator Joe picked me up and brought me to the volunteer's accomodation, showed me around and the next morning he briefed us on the project and the sorroundings. Joe was always available, for any questions or necesseties. The first day he took us to the shopping centre for grocery shopping, exchanging money, buying sim cards and then to the orphanage, where he introduced us. As part of my volunteering program, I was taking care of kids living in an orphanage just 10 minutes away by Uber. It is a very cheap mean of transport, especially when you are more than one taking it but also a pleasant one because most of the time we would chat with the drivers. At the orphanage we had a routine but it was also quite flexible. We discovered they mostly needed help in the morning (playing with the three/four year olds or cuddling the smaller babies, washing and hanging clothes, preparing the food with Chef, feeding the little ones and changing them) so after we all had lunch we would leave and then had the rest of the afternoon to explore Nairobi or relax at home, which offers a big terrace on roof where you could also sunbathe or exercise. On the weekends I organized Safari's and visits around Nairobi, which has few things to offer. Regarding the accomodation, I was living in Lower Kabete in a six floor building where there are several rooms, with a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. I had the chance to share my room for a few weeks but also to be alone. We were provided with a fresh continental breakfast and mostly typical kenyan dishes for dinner by Joseph, our housecarer. He's the best and a very hardworking man. Over all my experience was wonderful, of course it came with some cultural shocks at times but it made me open my eyes on so many things in life and I'm forever grateful. Kenya will always be in my heart as well as those kids smiles which made all my days so much fun and meaningful. Asante Sana !
