The main objective of Amazing smile children centre (ASCC) is to improve access to basic needs to the Orphans and Vulnerable Children and providing them with functional education, spiritual health, skills and good Medical care in order to harness their potential to live a fulfilling life of dignity and contribute to world economy.

We are seeking forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to our orphanage centre Kenya We offer the privilege of education and a home to those who without our organization could not reach it.

‘Volunteers teach English, computer and math classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at our centre. They can also teach art and music and sports if they are best talented. The relationships formed between the children and Volunteers are lasting as they remain in touch for years afterwards.

At the centres, ASCC requires its Volunteers to work at the centre, six day a week.
There is time to sightsee and tour the nation, but work remains an important priority. This is a unique position within ASCC as it allows the volunteer first hand experience in the field, also having time to explore the local area.

We are looking for people who will bring a caring and nurturing attitude with the children. Your time will be divided between the children and your own chance to visit the local tourist attractions. It is very important to adhere to the local cultural codes. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential.

We are devoted to present a flexible, affordable service experience. There is no application fee, and the weekly fees for individuals are USD $150 and for couples and families only USD $250 to cover the costs for their room and board, both of which are very simple, at the centre. African dishes will also be offered In our centre and if you would to enjoy the food then they will be available for all the time you will be at our centre. Only married couples and immediate family will be allowed to share a room due to strict cultural ethics.

Help a child in Nairobi’s slums learn to read

February 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Hi,

This is Jay, from Volunteer4Free Kenya. We are seeking volunteers to help teach English to primary school pupils in Nairobi’s Soweto slums, as well as visit, teach, and play games with children at Nairobi’s main public hospital (Kenyatta National Hospital). Our program is supervised by coordinators with several years of experience in hosting international volunteers in Africa, and we offer both short and long-term volunteer placements (e.g. three weeks to six months).

Volunteers with our program will have the opportunity to teach English in both small group and whole class settings with our slum school reading program. Additionally, they will be responsible for organizing games in the children’s wards at Kenyatta National Hospital, helping to organize the children for teaching sessions; and also assigned specific patients to visit.

A basic background in English is required for participation. Also, we do request a background check (e.g. CRB, or “good conduct certificate”) for screening due to the nature of our work, i.e. with children. But beyond that, not much else is required in the way of qualifications.

Our program also offers budget accommodation (roughly $30 a week) to volunteers, and is a great way to travel Africa and make an impact in the process.

If you are interested in volunteering in Kenya for free, please write to the following email address now to apply: volunteer4freekenya@gmail.com. You can also check us out on the web at the following website: http://volunteer4freekenya.kbo.co.ke/home.
