We can offer 4 types of experiences for visiting Mercy and Caring Children’s Homes in Kenya, differing mainly in length of stay.

1. You may be going to Kenya as a tourist on your own holiday, but want to stop in at Mercy and Caring Children’s Home to see your sponsor child.     PILOT PROJECT:      BE PART OF OUR NEW INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.  COME FOR JULY AND AUGUST 2010 2. You may want to come and help at MCCH but can only be away from other responsibilities for 3 weeks in a particular time of the year. You would have one week to adjust to jet lag and the culture, and 2 weeks to participate in a work project like painting, sewing curtains, or building an adventure playground. You could also be involved with the children on Saturdays if school is in, or perhaps help with Daily Vacation Bible School week if it is during one of the vacation months: December, April orAugust. 3.  You are free to come for July & August, 2010, and want to experience interacting with the children, and participating in outreach to rural homes and churches. You may live on site, be hosted by a family, or live in a hotel. The trip from North America is 2 long flights usually through Amsterdam or London to Nairobi, and then an overnight in a hotel and 8 hour bus trip, OR a 2 hour flight to Eldoret where you would be met and driven to Kitale. The second way limits luggage to a backpack unless one pays for suitcases, appx. $1.00 per pound. 4. You are serious about Missions as a Career, and want to spend time as an intern learning all you can about the culture, people and ministry to see if you fit for a long term placement.
