    Description

    My friends and I run a charity school and a small community library for children in Nyalenda Slum - Kisumu.

    We would like to cross paths with anyone who wants to take a break from their usual routine and experience a different kind of life a way from home. We love people and appreciate the diversity life affords us. You are free to help out at the project any way you can. Fingers crossed.

    We have vowed in our hearts to change the face of our community by providing learning opportunity for the numerous gifted kids around us from the urban poor families, End goal, empower them as much as we possibly can to emerge and compete head and shoulder above their peers.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a lot to carry away from our culture, as they will have first hand experience on the tasty local food, the warm reception and interaction with the local people in our community. Sightseeing and uninterrupted fun filled adventures in and away from town as we are 15 minutes away from the shores of Lake-Victoria and the ambient Riat & Kajulu hills perfect for steam blowing hikes and picnics. Travelers can also rent a bike around for a few shillings and ride around sight seeing in the cool of the breeze just to cite a few.
