The Final Week Volunteering in Kenya

by Mike Mcleod, Greenheart Travel Volunteer in Kenya

Jambo, folks! An update from the mighty Maasailand with details of our final couple of weeks and what we have achieved in our time here in Kenya.

In the end it was all about completing the work at the school to fulfill our goal of renovating the kitchen, together with improvements on the veggie garden. Our aim was to have the place looking tippy-top for start of term in 2012, the kitchen ready for the mamas to cook in, and the garden sprouting nicely with veggies for use there at the school and for sale to the local community.

As we finished our last couple of days and had a fond farewell from Luis & family, Aya and the Jambo team, the feeling was super positive. We’re so very grateful for all our fine experiences and hospitality we were shown by the wonderful people in Maasailand. Without doubt, there is so much more to do on projects in Kenya, and I know Mariano is keen on returning as soon as possible!

Check out Mike’s videos and slideshow from his time in Kenya…
