Cleaning up garbage in the Village of Dagoretti

As with any growing not-for-profit organization, volunteers have become an important resource and “life line”. With many thanks to D4K founder and current student, Michael Mungai (SJU ’10), Michael has arranged several student trips from Philadelphia to Kenya and Tanzania for purposes ranging from tourism, education, academic research, and D4K assistance.

Volunteers visiting Dagorretti have helped form positive relationships with D4K students and reinforce a lifestyle void of drugs, alcohol and promiscuity. Volunteers are also helpful in bringing awareness to their own local schools and churches about D4K’s mission and opportunities to get involved.

In the summer of 2009, volunteers spent hours playing and building relationships with locals, cleaning up garbage and even took a “village of kids” camping. They also conducted research and purchased materials to help convert an old cow stall into a new “outdoor kitchen” for cooking and meal preparation at D4K. Additional volunteers from Los Angeles and Europe also joined to share in the experience.
