Remarques

THEME: YOUTH EMPOWERMENT • This project is aimed at the empowerment of the youths within the rural setting to tackle challenges of development. • Identity crisis is a major drawback to efforts to enhance community development and the majority of the young people are in and out of school and they portend a danger to society is they are not nurtured and supported to establishment themselves into responsible citizens. • The involvement of local and international volunteers serves the critical purpose of sensitization and exposure to challenges of development.

Travail

• Mulching existing crops and trees • Drip irrigation on crops and trees using bottles placed under the base of trees • Raising seedlings in seedlings packets • Teaching • Pest control by spraying the pesticides • Vegetable harvesting • Volunteers should be flexible as they may be allocated other duties within the community by the school administration

Logement & nourriture

• Volunteers will stay in classrooms at the School with basic living conditions. • Volunteers have an obligation to climb down the level of the people with the aim of exposure to development challenges. • KVDA will provide foodstuffs and volunteers will cook their own meals in turns. Water is available from springs and it is recommended that drinking water should be boiled or medicated. Mineral water available at supermarkets is recommended. • The Government policy to install ICT in primary schools has seen connectivity to the national power grid for most educational institutions in Kenya and this makes it easy for volunteers to use electric appliances while at the project. • Furthermore, we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening) – and a lot of motivation!
