Out of Afrika Volunteer Experiences

"I have gained a tremendous amount through my experience volunteering with Out of Afrika. Above all learnt a great deal ifeel humbled and inspired by the people I have met and worked with here they have soo little but so much to give".....

......."Since I took the challenge I have gained confidence in working with people of diverse backgrounds. I have improved my self-awareness and ignorance of the world especially Africa"...

"The food is varied and of good quality"

"More stories from Volunteers....A rewarding two-week experience"

"Anyone who volunteers there will come out of it with a greater respect for the Kenyan people and a better understanding of what they face. The longer you stay, the more you will be able to contribute, but even if you only stay for a short time I think it is hard not to learn a great deal."
 

In all I had a really good time in Kibwezi, the difference to Ruiru is immense. I learnt a lot about the rural culture which in some ways is very different to that you would find in Nairobi or even Ruiru. It was a particularly good for me to experience two weeks of each place in order to realise the contrasts which exist in Kenya. I would definitely come back to either, I had an excellent experience.
