It was really nice to have Julia at our school. She is very much understanding and always open for discussion concerning matters affecting the school and ready to offer solutions. For the close to three months we stayed with Julia she helped a lot in the school programs and the children loved her a lot as she was ready to offer help to any of them… read more

Mackinnon is a really beautiful place. I stayed there for two and a half months. Maybe it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. You’ll be living close to nature or let’s say together with the nature there. The room is really basic. There is a matress, a table and an arabic toilet. Be aware there is no water from the tab, but you’ll… read more get used to it. For me it was no problem. If you’re lucky you’ll see the elephants behind your window in the night. I was quite close, just a two or three meters. Wonderful experience!!
In the school you are free to choose where to work and what to do with the students. After spending time with them in the classroom, testing the reading and writing skills you’ll fast see what are their needs, their strengths and where is requirement for input. Everyone is really lovely there. Expect the way the teachers behave to get the children disciplined is not the way it should be. I continued talking and talking to them about that topic. I think it is good to offer them new ways for pedagogical education and push the awareness for children’s rights. By being on-site we can support to change systematical problems.
Cosmus is also a very nice person. You’ll be living with his family and some more children who stay in the place while the school is running. So there are plenty of persons, you can spend time with or do something on your own. Jeremiah will always be ready for a round of playing Uno cards together. We (me + other volunteers) also did some great trips together with Cosmus to see more parts of the country. There are a lot of things in the area to visit, e.g. Mount Kilimanjaro, Mombasa, doing a Safari, Diani Beach. You could also go more far away when you feel safe in traveling, there are possibilities to visit Nairobi, Mount Kenya or the Victoria Lake ( I by myself didn’t do).
When I was there Cosmus asked me to do a fundraising campaign to expand the school building. I saw the process of building a new highschool on the countryside, close to the current place. I hope one day it’s completely finished, with all the ideas to be wished to implement at this school.
All in all there are things which were difficult (for me). But I think it’s not about the host, more a structural problem about the country. If you are a LGBTQ* person it won’t be easy there for you. I think this is important to reference.
I personally had a good time and also good conversations with Cosmus, who is open to discuss about most of societal topics. So I can recommend to stay there and get in touch with a rural village life and place yourself a little back to earth. By coming from an industrial country staying over there is like a rehabilitation. And one more point just came into my mind. Be aware this is one of the poorest regions of the world, so be mentally prepared.
Thank you for everything and we see us twice in life, or the next one!! :)

Hauke and Julia, thank you for your help and kind words. Thank you for the food you prepared. Sorry for the inconvenience that was in the garden. I will try to make the garden better. I wish you to realize your desire to have your own garden as soon as possible.

Hey Andrij,
Thank you for everything!
We had a really great time in your home.
Andrij is a wonderful person who brings light to the world and the people. His project is a really good one and supporting in the garden doesn't feel like working anyway. You are in a marvellous landscape between the mountains and quite close to the sea. After… read more
