Kenya is a fantastic place to spend time volunteering abroad with children in orphanages and day care centers, teaching in local schools, assist the doctors and nurses in the health clinics and hospitals, work in an HIV/AIDS program and participate in youth activities. There is an increase in the number of orphans which are left in the community with no family members to care for them. In the orphanages that do exist, staff struggle with limited resources to feed, cloth, and educate the children in their care. Staff all too often simply doesnt have the time to provide the individual love and attention that these children need so they can have as normal a childhood as possible. Women and children continue to suffer due to lack of proper medical care and shortage of doctors, nurses and social workers in the hospitals in both urban and rural areas, Due to poverty that has rocked the nation, people often avoid attending health facilities due to financial constrain, most of the people encounter premature death as a result of depression and inability to take care of them and the overwhelming number of children or students in a single class has called for a great need of volunteers who can speak and write English to assist these communities. Additionally the volunteer gains experience within the culture and work environment.
We would like to call upon volunteers who are willing to participate in the above programs depending on their interest, capability, experience, professionalism and or just have the passion to help the needy. KVCDP works directly in the communities and with the community members who are in dire need to bring a change and make a difference in their situation.

The organization will very soon have electricity at the Centre in Wagusu with the support of Amanda Parkins and the 14th and Chestnut Community Center. Amanda has been volunteering with us as a program coordinator for the past one month and has a passion and a heart to make a difference by seeking donations from her organization back home in the US state of Indiana towards electricity installation.
Hear her out…
I have been blessed to be able to come to Kenya and work with a great group of people! I can see that their hearts are in the right place, and the work they are doing is going to make a difference in this community. It is exciting that I am able to be a part of it in a few small ways. I encourage anyone and everyone to come visit the organization and support the work they are doing to improve the lives of so many.
Our environment is our great concern and we have been able to send a message to the community by planting trees at the Centre. Dean Antony Sparrow, Martin, Wilfred, Jacky, Amanda, Millicent, and Charlie each planted a tree along the perimeter of the property. Their involvement and participation have made a big difference to make our environment green. Many flowers have also been planted

Shangilia day care children can now write on tables. This was achieved by donations from Olivia, Franki, and Emily who volunteered with us for two weeks in May 2010. They also donated playing toys and painted the children’s playing ground.

| African Child Day—16/6/2010 |
In partnership with the Wayo Child Project, Home Adventure participated in this important occasion at Usigu/Majengo Primary School to commemorate the brutally massacred seven hundred innocent African children in Sowato, South Africa.
This day reminds us of the great task that is with and ahead of us as parents and caretakers. Children are the future, and need to be taken care of now so that they will grow into healthy, happy, responsible adults.
Shangilia day care children from our Centre presented a poem entitled “Nursery”.
