Made a real impact! Safe and secure
March 31, 2026by: Catherine Guillot - CanadaProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in Kenya
All my journey in Kenya was Safe and secure. I made a real impact from day one. Local team was helpful and always available. Teachers at school were clear in their expectations of volunteers, flexible and open to new ideas. Host mom was welcoming, open minded and easy to speak with I highly recommend it!
