Review

I really enjoyed my volunteer work at Umoja Foundation Group on child care program in Matunda Kenya.Everyone, volunteers and locals alike,were highly friendly and many many locals would attempt to stop on the street to chat with you, anyone you meet says "habari mzungu" sounds so funny. The accommodation was basic but suitable.Everyone had their own bed and the food each time was delicious. The tap water was not suitable to drink,which meant that you spend some money on bottle water.The project itself was enlightening,and very worthwhile, sometimes the work could be hard with the children as you would see issues that would be very unlikely to rise in your home country Denmark but the people and staff mad everything worthwhile.The weekends were packed of tourist safari trips,and it was very interesting to see the difference between locals Kenya and tourist Kenya.Generally I enjoyed my project and would volunteer with Umoja Foundation Group again in a heartbeat.The staff at Umoja Foundation Group especially Michael,was very helpful in making the arrangements.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
