Teaching in Kenya is an enlightening, rewarding and life changing experience. Schools, especially in rural areas, are packed with students dedicated to learning. They are committed, focused and wonderful. Standing in front a class of 30, a teacher knows that every word spoken is being digested and processed. Kenya is in need of teachers, and resources, books and volunteers alike are celebrated within villages. Teachers experience all Kenya has to offer, from safari, sipping wine like Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in Out of Africa, to horseback rides and trips out on Lake Victoria. The people of your village will want to spoil you and trips to the market with them are a must!
