VOLUNTERY PROGRAM 2012

VOLUNTERY PROGRAM 2011

We kindly ask you to follow the dates above to avoid complications in the travel from Nairobi to Karungu.
If someone desires to extend the duration of stay, information should be relied in advance.

For the volunteers who are arriving very early in the morning, the previous agreement with us cannot work. So alternatively, you can reach the seminary by taxi from the airport. Therefore, before going out of the arrival zone at the luggage counter, look at the right side there is a taxi desk where you can take your taxi and pay at their office. These taxis are official and safe to travel in. Please show the map to the seminary to the taxi driver for better collaboration. The price is fixed but will be roughly 2 o000 kenya shillings.

Thank you very much for your availability; bye bye and see you in Karungu.
