Volunteering with the family

During a school holiday the entire family visited a local Kenyan Non-profit chapter of the international christian conservation organisation, A Rocha Kenya.

We stayed at Mwamba Conservation Center, near the wonderful beach in Turtle bay. And for a week we participated in the life there, including eating together, setting the tables for the dinner and doing dishes with volunteers and other travellers.

Rooms were nice and clean – staff here were all warm and welcoming, and we quickly felt right at home.
This was a welcome alternative to regular tourist stays, and at the same time a chance to connect with locals, volunteers and travellers from around the world.

A Rocha Kenya has a policy that the young people they provide sponsorships for to attend secondary school, also must come and stay at Mwamba.
