Promote the Work
CALLING ALL SCHOOLS: join our schools network!The Nasio Trust has a growing network of supporter schools. Many schools wish to give their pupils an understanding of what life is like for children in other parts of the world. They also want pupils to learn that helping others can be great fun. The Nasio Trust is always delighted to visit schools that are interested in getting involved with our work. We can also provide materials for teachers to use (a video, photos, and in future, posters) and are happy to help you advertise any fundraising events on our website. If you would like a representative of the Nasio Trust to give a talk at your school, or if you would like to run an event for The Nasio Trust and would like help, please do not hesitate to contact us VOLUNTARY WORK in KenyaWe are looking for adventurous students, graduates, and individuals who are seeking work experience and want to teach or work with children and adults in our day care centre. You can teach at the day care centre, primary or secondary schools; work with local communities visiting the sick; get involved in conservation projects. Are you up for the challenge? Our exciting projects are designed especially for those of you who want to spend 4- 6 months overseas and wish to combine highly rewarding voluntary work with travel and adventure. Volunteers will live and work in ways which are sensitive to the cultural values of others, and develop relationships based on shared circumstances and mutual respect. Most of our placements in connection with HIV/AIDS involve working with rural communities on prevention and living with HIV/AIDS. We are currently targeting: social workers and administrators, medical doctors, community nurses, laboratory technologists, bio-medical researchers, psychologists, document lists, teachers, educators and public health officers. Voluntary work abroad can be one of the most rewarding ways to spend all or part of your gap year or work experience. Most 'gappers' who do it come back with memories they never lose and a new perspective on the world. Taking part in an organised voluntary work project can give you the opportunity to learn about a different culture, meet new people and learn to communicate with people who may not understand your way of life let alone your language. You will come away with an amazing sense of achievement and hopefully pride in what you have done. You could find yourself working with people living in unbelievable poverty, disease, hunger – something which may give you a different perspective on life. What to expect Ranging from placements lasting a couple of weeks to teaching for a whole academic year, you will need to be resourceful, able to teach, build, inspire confidence, communicate and share what you know. Physical and mental fitness, staying power and the ability to get on with people are essentials. We are looking for self-motivated and reliable positive thinkers. You need to be self-reliant and able to cope when you turn up at a Kenyan school and find a basic room, no curtains and that the loo is a ‘long-drop’ down the garden. For More Information please contact us at info@thenasiotrust.org or ring us on 01865 820476 Supporting teacher trainingThe Nasio Trust is giving full training to its two employed teachers. By
completing school against all the odds of poverty, death in the family and
sometimes hunger, these two teachers who started with us as volunteers have
shown their determination and commitment to the children; so we felt it
was right to offer them some thing in return.
