Description
I am a social worker, climate change activist and passionate about community development work for social transformation. I believe in sharing world perspectives for cross cultural peace and understanding. I am the founder and Director of a community based non profit organisation in my native village in rural Kenya, where I am happy to host international volunteers who would like to immerse themselves with the local community culture as they contribute their time and skills in community development. The area is a rural settlement and the people are very friendly and welcoming.
