A lil update.

The last few weeks in Nairobi have been full of training and getting even more of a handle on trips. We welcomed a new facilitator, and a returning one who was taking some time at home. The team is complete!! We are ready in full force to attack all the trips that are coming in. We will all be in the Mara as of Monday hosting a group called Artbound, CTV film crew and a famous celeb. It should be an interesting few weeks that will be followed by a Nippising trip full of teachers fulfilling their placements in the local primary schools that FTC has built.

Job low down

I got hired as a Kenya Trips Facilitator for a company called Me to We. Me to We is a sister company of Free the Children an NGO. Me to We offers more socially responsible choices for youth and helps raise global awareness inner city and internationally. Me to We allows Free the Children to have the lowest administrative cost possible and use 91 cents of the dollar to give directly to our projects. These projects in Kenya include, school building, water kiosks & bore holes, alternate income projects, and health education. Free the Children is the largest NGO of children helping children, and is dedicated to empowering youth to have a voice. My job is to facilitate youth groups and adult groups that come to Kenya and give them an understanding of what FTC and Me to We is dedicated to doing, in terms of our Adopt A Village program. They will also have the opportunity to help build primary schools in the communities and engage in cultural activities.
