Volunteer Teaching
Trip code: MAS1

The Kenyan education system recently went through major changes when free education was provided to the primary level. Because of this, more children are attending school. However, there is a current lack of teachers in most schools in the Maasai Land and other parts of Kenya. Most of the students are impoverished and lack opportunities of students in developed areas of Kenya. The Maasai students are eager to learn and greatly appreciate what our volunteers teach. Volunteers have the freedom to choose which subjects to teach. Volunteers are also free to coordinate extracurricular after school such as sports and arts.
