Volunteering in Africa - Kiandu School

Some friends of mine are in Africa at the moment trying to help a local community by improving the situation for students and teachers at the local school. I admire their drive and committment. Of course, not everyone has the time, energy or money, to go to a new country and throw themselves into that kind of volunteer work. Others may even feel their enthusiasm is misguided and should be directed at activities closer to home. Whether you are interested in foreign aid or charity work in your home town, you may still find their story inspiring. Here's a link to the Kiandu School blog by Matt and Mel.

If you'd like to donate I am sure they would appreciate the help. They are currently building toilets, a library, putting desks into the staff room, and hope to put floors into the classrooms. For the town, clean water is also a big deal.
