Also we will organize an exploration tour to some tourist sites nearby, such as the Tagbovie Cave. Volunteers will have enough time to interact with villagers, make friends and gradually learn the culture. Kenya Volunteer in Kenya Global Citizens Network has worked with the Charuru community since July 1993. As construction of a health clinic continues, help is now needed to build furniture, shelving, fencing and cupboards for the clinic. Volunteers may conduct a village health survey, develop a health manual for clinic workers and teach basic health and first aid courses.
Volunteers are always welcome to teach in the village school.
Future teams may also assist the local youth group with organizing activities.
