KENYA – EAST AFRICA

This mission trip is open to everyone! Your trip fee of $3185.00 ($3985.00 for the Germany Dachau option) round trip international airfare from most airline hub cities, medicines for the medical camps, most meals, ground transportation, in-country air travel, some of the materials related to the work project, and secure camp style and hotel lodging!

You will help with light construction on a much-needed building for disabled students at a Special Needs secondary school in rural Kenya that will provide a sheltered eating area complete with tables and benches. You will also assist with three or more medical camp outreaches and meet lots of kids and their families; everyone takes part and no experience is necessary! This is a wonderful opportunity to serve Jesus among some of the areas of greatest need in rural Kenyan communities where HIV/AIDS has orphaned nearly 70% of the children. We partner with our friends at the Ministry of Health who are incredibly gracious to our teams. The camps can last a day or even two but everyone will receive care in these areas where medical facilities are few and far between. You will be part the COMMIT Team that helps these communities make changes at their schools to meet the mounting challenges in medicine, equality, and in economics. We will also visit several other schools to offer encouragement and assess their upcoming needs to see how we might help in the future.

You are needed and even if you just wish to share with any of the classes at the schools, play volleyball, basketball, or soccer, visit the grade schools next door, or just hold the greatest kids in the world! Even though experience is never required, we could benefit by having those on our team who know a bit about construction, brick work, block work, well drillers, water tank fabricator, Hydroponics, Agroponics, plumbing, solar, concrete workers, electricians, medicine, doctors, nurses, first aid, and other related fields. After all, we don’t know everything but have very qualified team leaders to help you learn how to do much of the needed work.

Not all work and no play…this team will take a safari game drive at a national game park to view wild animals in their natural habitat. We’ll also do some shopping for souvenirs at the Maasai market and finish our debriefing in Nairobi before going home. Time permitting, we’ll do a bit of sightseeing too.
