Holiday in Africa as a volunteer

05/Nov/2009

DISCOVER the rugged beauty of Africa and make a difference.

Combine your holiday with volunteering in a country renowned for its natural wonders but also, unfortunately, its poverty.

Many local communities have limited educational opportunities due to poverty – not being able to read and write is a disability.

The Gabriel Learning Centre located in Nakuru, Kenya,  offers a fully escorted volunteering experience, where you will be assisting families affected by illiteracy, drought and poverty.

Your weekends are yours to explore the incredible beauty of Lake Nakuru, you will see the ’big five’ while on safari and visit the people of the Masai Mara.

This is a fully escorted volunteering/holiday experience and one that you will definitely remember.

You do not need to teach to help, just being there to pass on your advice and knowledge is a great asset.

Sounds like a fantastic way to have a holiday but do some good as well.
