Drinking Water Disinfection Project- EASTER 2010
'Having recently come back from Karibuni, where I was testing different ways of cost effective solar drinking water disinfection as part of Dissertation project for Newcastle University, I can honestly say that my time spent working on this project has been one of the most rewarding and incredible experiences of my life.

Karibuni offered the perfect base from which to undertake my investigation, and Team Kenya were behind the project all the way, helping overcome the quite daunting task of travelling all the way to Kenya to carry out the tests and being supportive and enthusiastic at all stages of the process. I had never done anything like this before in my life, but any initial doubts I had were soon  put at ease and I felt very safe at all times. The trip was a great success  and I got to see what a truly amazing charity this was, and how effective their work is and what a huge influence it has on the local community. One day I hope to return with a device that I can leave behind and know I've made a lasting contribution to this great cause. Thanks to everybody at Team Kenya, keep up the good work!'

Wow what an experience.... and it's not over yet!!!
England seems a million miles away from here as everything is sooooo different.
We are currently in Homa Bay having a touch of luxury... running water, flushing loos... and chips!!! lol but back to basics tomorrow. I can't wait to experience the rest of the week.... hope it's as eyeopening as the rest has already been.

In Amsterdam airport ...at the end of our adventure none of us want to come home because we have had such an amazing time. Highlights:
*pala school- balloon time
*smiling faces and all those little waves
*THE SUN!!
*community entertainment eg. girls dancing
*Maggie, Mary and Rose who all did such an amazing job of looking after us (miss you so much).

Overall we all had a fabulous time and are definitely looking foward to returning in the NEAR future!

Don't just read about the problems in Ndhiwa, be part of the solution!

There are now plenty of companies offering expeditions, holidays and Gap Year experiences but few that offer a genuine worthwhile experience based on the needs of both the overseas community and the visitors and that don't make a profit out of the volunteers.

Volunteers can choose to get involved with a range of activities as diverse as tree planting, journalism, photography, activities with Scouts and Guides, computer training, teaching English in schools, working with girls to promote children's rights & gender equality, sports coaching, drama and music.

Whatever your skills are, we can match you up with the right project & the right people.

Going to Kenya was a life changing experience; it was a great opportunity to see how the funds we had raised were being utilised. Adam Corlett – Seaton Burn College student
