This October and November I will be going to volunteer at Peace Matunda, an orphanage in Kimundo, Arusha, Tanzania. The Cicely Foundation, a non-profitable organisation, set up the orphanage alongside Kayaa the founder and coordinator. He lives in the orphanage grounds and his children live alongside the orphans, so it’s very much a family orientated home.
Peace Matunda is home to 21 children, even more go to the school. I intend to help out in the orphanage, cooking, cleaning and talking with the children, I will also help teach, during the school day, as most lessons are taught in English rather than Swahili.
I created this blog to allow people to get to know me and what I will be doing this coming November, because as a volunteer I have to pay for everything; two visa’s, jabs, flights, transfers, insurance, the placement and any gifts, such as paints or pyjamas. Any help with costs would be very well received. Keep reading for more of my journey towards helping the children of Peace Matunda. If you would like to donate, or you just want more information, do not hesitate to contact me.
