Description
My friends and I run a charity school and a small library for children in Nyalenda Slum - Kisumu.
We would like to cross paths with someone who can help us develop the digital side of our library called "kids tab lab" basically help us get tablets, install internet and configure the machines to tap into the free online resources for kids education and entertainment. Fingers crossed.
We have vowed in our hearts to change the face of our community by providing learning opportunity for the bottom pyramid families to enroll their children, who would otherwise miss out because of abject poverty.
Our work is worthy because little children from our community are able to learn and get a nutritious meal whenever they are dropped at our center.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is a lot to carry away from our culture, as they will have first hand experience on the tasty local food, the warm reception and interaction with the local people in our community. Sightseeing and uninterrupted fun filled adventures in and away from town as we are 15 minutes away from the shores of Lake-Victoria and the ambient Riat & Kajulu hills perfect for steam blowing hikes and picnics. Travelers can also rent a bike around for a few shillings and ride around sight seeing in the cool of the breeze just to cite a few.
