Its staff attends to patients from around Nairobi and farther areas, keeping them extremely busy. Volunteers provide much-needed assistance in all areas, including translations.

Perfect blend
March 04, 2019by: Dana Macabales - United StatesProgram: Healthcare and Medical Placements in Nairobi, KenyaI feel like I got the perfect blend of insight on everyday life and tourism. I loved Kenya. It was very peaceful and the people were very friendly and hospitable. I loved working at the Wema Hospital. Dr. George and the nurses were very nice and I got a lot of hands on experience. TIPS: My housing ran out of water while I was there. It would be helpful to make sure you have enough clothes for the whole time, because you might not be able to wash them.
Hi Dana,<br/>Volunteering certainly puts you behind the scenes in a way that being a tourist can never match. It's fantastic to hear about our volunteers embracing the opportunity to be involved with families and communities and getting the very most of their placements - whilst providing much needed hands-on support in return.<br/>Many thanks for sharing your insight and tips to help future volunteers.<br/>The Team @ Love Volunteers.
