New project in process...
In 2024, we began constructing manyattas in the camp.
By January 2025, we continued working on three traditional manyattas, reimagined by the host as volunteer quarters. These structures have a essence of cultural heritage, modern durability, natural materials and designs. We are using wood sourced from the bush creating something truly special. Our team collaborated for less than two weeks on this project. The plan is to build one more manyatta and "pimp" all of them to have the possibility to sleep in these future beautiful rooms.
We are so excited by this project, as it will elevate the volunteer experience ✨

Access to vegetables and fruit is essential for sustainable living in the camp; however, we will need to pause our gardening efforts for now and focus our energy on another project.

We had the great opportunity to host a world heritage program of UNESCO in partnership with a Kenyan organisation, KVSO, with UNESCO and Critical Conversation.
For a week, we were immersed in the Maasai culture and we took part in various activities in the community and also in the camp. We welcomed people from diverse countries, tribes, and projects to our camp. We got the chance to showcase the projects of our CBO. The project Critical Conversation created beautiful moments for all of us to live together : morning exercices and dances, discussing important topics, and listening to their beautiful stories. Storytelling is important in the Maasai culture. We bounded over shared meals, songs, dances, laughter, bonfires,...
