Description
Hello, Josie & Jared here! We are travelling in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda & Tanzania for a few weeks and we are really excited to discover the culture and beauty of these East African countries through the amazing Workaway opportunities offered by locals.
We are enthusiastic, friendly and reliable people who love to help, learn and teach!
Josie is a qualified doctor with experience working and teaching children and adults, including those with disabilities. Jared is a construction manager and also has experience working with children including football coaching. We are both very sporty and love being outdoors, yet we are also creative and really enjoy music, art/design and cooking. We are always excited & grateful to develop new skills too - we are quick learners!
