If you're interested in having an intimate look at east African culture while also sharing your skills, consider doing one of Expanding Opportunities' service journeys. Service journey volunteers live at the Joseph Waweru Home School--a home for street boys--in Menengai, Kenya. Volunteers get to be part of a Kenyan family and experience first-hand what the country is about. During the day, volunteers work in the home school's gardens, at local schools and around the house. In the evenings, volunteers eat dinner and hang out with the street kids, joking around, helping with homework and discussing cultural differences. If you have specific skills that you'd like to share, Expanding Opportunities will help you find a way to do so.

Service journeys can take place anytime between early January and early April, precise dates varying from year to year. The journeys can be from two weeks to three months long. Limited long term volunteering positions are also available.
