Hello Wanderer, Eva lives with her parents Franz and Anna in a small house around one hour away from Munich. We keep seven sheep, some chicken, four ducks and five bee colonies. We farm an area of around 2 hectares where a small field with field crops is situated and some young fruit trees and young hedge-rows. Everything here is still young and on the way of growing. As Eva works four days/week in Munich she seeks help to keep the place in a proper shape. The main tasks are related to - renovating the 40-year-old somehow ramshackle house we live in (all kinds of crafts like carpentary, building, plumbing, electricity and so on) - working on the fields or in the garden, mainly with hand tools You are free to help according to your skills and interests. It is essential that you are able to communicate in German, so this is your place if you like to improve your language skills (and ours in your language if it is one of the mentioned!) You'd spend the most of the time with Eva's parents Franz and Anna. Please keep in mind, that we have no internetaccess. If you have a smartphone you probably have access in our village. 10 km away there's an internet cafe and we can take you there. Be prepared to be pestered with questions about your country. We think workaway is for us a possibility to travel without moving. The village is very quiet and sleepy. It is a good place to be before you head to the next lively city or if you like to get away from noise and distraction. The only "attraction" might be a beergarden or loads of books (german language) we can offer you from our library. Eva loves to go hiking or sightseeing and she will take you with her, if you like. Feel free to be free over here. Thank you for reading!

PROJECT DESCRIPTION THE SCHOOL is a brain child of the founders who came from a not so very privileged background but privileged to have been educated amongst the privileged and later trained and now teaching the privileged in the society. We have also a an extra team of 2 ladies and 2 gentlemen who we have incorporated on the board to work with us It is based in ,East lands of Nairobi A legally registered NGO which runs the school was established on 18th December, 2008. Currently, the school has registered 100 children who are from different backgrounds The school does not have any international funding. but through he NGO we keep trying by way of proposal writing with the hope that some day funds will come by. Probably a volunteer with International NGO fundraising skills too will highly be welcome to guide us on this Our main target is children from deprived backgrounds locally. Also benefiting from this initiative are refugee children from Southern Sudan. We are pioneering a unique system where we integrate children from very humble backgrounds with those from more privileged ones. This kind of systems enables the school to charge parents from better backgrounds and give free tuition and meals to those who deserve the same opportunity but lack the finances. The fees charged go towards teachers’ salaries, children’s feeding program and meeting other basic needs within the school, thus making the school self sustainable. Our vision has always been for us to have our own piece of property and be able to construct our own modern school so as to be able to enroll more children as well as cut rental costs, thereby providing a larger population with quality education at very subsidized fees. The school has 7(Seven teachers and 3 non teaching (one care- taker a driver and one cook) The school provides Education and opportunity to children at a personalized one - on - one approach. The use of trained teachers, field trips, out door, hands – on activities and interaction with the well to do in the society provides children with the opportunity to interact thus boosting their confidence and self esteem. Volunteers with artistic knowledge i.e drawing, painting, and other creative skill are welcome The project involves parents and community members as partners in the education process by utilizing their skills and knowledge. The school’s administration works closely with the community and their leaders.
