Description

Kenya is a land of intense beauty, epic landscapes, fascinating tribes and exuberant communities. Magnificent wildlife roam across vast Rift Valley plains, white sand beaches fringe the turquoise Indian Ocean and ancient tribal communities practice traditional customs little changed since the dawn of time. All these combine to provide a destination of unparalleled appeal and fascination.

* What Will I Be Doing?

Your work schedule will be challenging and varied, but always enjoyable, as you embark on your teaching placement in a local community or government school. You will engage fully with your pupils, using your creativity and initiative to deliver a stimulating teaching programme.

You will benefit in terms of your personal and professional experience and will be encouraged to formulate ideas and develop your teaching skills and techniques. Working either with a local teacher or independently, you could be directly involved with marking pupils' work, preparing homework and assembling innovative and effective lesson plans.

After school and at weekends you will go with the kids to the football foundation where young athletes are working hard to coach local children in football; keeping them fit and healthy and learning team work rather than spending their evenings on the streets. You will be able to help teach, train and coach these enthusiastic young sportsmen and women, as well as having plenty of chance to play alongside some of the older teams as well!
