Description

Volunteering Solutions offers a unique opportunity to teach in Masai Community Schools in Kenya. Teaching in the Masai Areas is a unique experience in itself. Volunteers work in community schools and teach subjects such as English, Maths, General knowledge, Geography and Sciences. The schools in Kenya are open for the following months/terms - January - March, May - July and Sep - Nov. During the breaks in between volunteers teach children in the extra classes and tutorials.

All the volunteers joining this program live with the Masai host families where they learn the traditional way of living and Masai culture.

During the free time and on weekends, volunteers can travel to the volunteer's home in Nairobi and meet with other volunteers to make travel plans and go on Safaris.
