Sarah Conley, 11th- 25th January 2010What were the highlights of your trip?Getting to meet all the kenyan people, being able to help and assist them even on things very small and simple. and prepairing a routine for the orphans.
Do you have 3 top tips for future travellers?1) be prepaired to have your hair pulled so have it tied back ha ha 2) bring lots of book or ipod to listen to 3) bring general items for the orphans such as toothbrush / toothpaste ect as sweets are not as useful.

Carol Blair, 5th - 19th October 2009 I had a really good time, everything went to plan including the 2 safaris organised by yourselves.
The volunteer projects met my expectations and I feel I got out of it what I was looking for. The social side of the project made it easier to help the local people by doing more practical things like painting the school to give a better environment for the children to learn in. Obviously the language barrier was always going to be a problem which cannot be overcome in such a short period of time. But I really enjoyed the experience and met some lovely people, glad I did it. Thank you.
Anne Evans, 4th January - 1st February 2010What were the highlights of your trip?Avoiding the UK Jan weather! doing the Medical placement and really feeling appreciated, it was both humbling and rewarding and great to meet other like minded volunteers, although alot younger than me I was able to use my 'maturity' at times to smooth troubled waters! Working together as a group in both the Makeu School and the feeding programme , was more effective too.
