Teaching in the Rift Valley, Kenya

Summary
Teach at a primary school in a remote African village in Kenya's ancient Rify Valley.

Program Description
Volunteers teach at government primary schools in the Rift Valley outside of Nairobi. The students range in age from 6 to 16. At one of the schools where we place volunteers, there are over 400 children with 10 teachers and the principal. Some classes have more than 60 students for one teacher.

You can choose which age group you want to work with. For the younger children, you can help them with conversational English, basic math, arts & crafts, board games, playground games, sports like soccer and running, music, and any other talents you wish to share.

For the older students, you can teach more formal subjects like English, science, math, and history. The school schedule is Monday-Friday from 8:30 am to 4 pm with a break for lunch as well as regular sports periods. All classes are taught in English in Kenya.
