Support
the work of VFA Volunteers..............
Gichamba comes from Kibumbu, and cycles 10
Kilometres to go and work with this community. It costs him atleast
US $ 1 per day to keep himself afloat and working as a volunteer
with these communities.
People around Mt Kenya have realized the good
work Gichamba is doing and have requested him to help them develop
their forestry network. He requires your support to help him
participate in saving Mt Kenya from encroachment.
Will
you help us support Gichamba’s Mt Kenya forestry work?
It costs around $ 5 to keep a
volunteer like Gichamba in a place like Chuka for a day.
Every penny comes from donations. Please
give now to support Gichamba and other
volunteers like him, doing remarkable work in East Africa......

How
you can get involved
We have a wide variety of activities that supporters can get
involved in, depending on your interests and time available. We
welcome all the support you can provide - no matter how big or
small!
Talks
and presentations (guest speakers programme)
One of the most effective ways to increase awareness about VFA
Volunteering Programmes, our work and development issues is to meet
with and talk to people. Community groups and organizations such as
rotary, church, youth and union groups often welcome speakers and
actively want to help. You can approach groups to talk about the
work of VFA or a more specific / general development issue. (This
might be of particular interest to returned development workers and
health trainers.) VFA will support you with the required resources
and materials to help you with your talk.

Before you organize any event , please talk to our staff
for we could assist you with publicity and other materials to make
your event successful. Email
us on volunteersafrica@yahoo.com
Pen
and pencil programme
Returned development workers and health trainers can help us to
build up a valuable resource of different experiences of working in
a developing country. By providing a case study of your experience,
knowledge of a particular sector, country, skill or development
issue, VFA can help people to learn more about international
development.
Other
development awareness projects
From time to time, VFA runs a number of specific development
awareness projects in conjunction with local organizations or
educational authorities. If you have skills, knowledge or experience
in the development sector that you would like to share, this is a
great opportunity!

Information
dissemination
You can help by creating more awareness about VFA, the work we do
and international development issues generally. The more people who
have an interest the greater impact we can have! As a supporter you
will receive updates about our work, events, current development
issues and appeals. Passing this information to friends, family and
work colleagues helps us to reach a bigger audience.
Networking
Networking with other organizations and groups is important. It
helps us to keep up to date with relevant issues, exchange ideas,
share good practice and increase our sphere of influence. By
networking within your community you can find out what is happening
locally. This may lead to opportunities to become involved with
events or other activities. You can also get ideas for activities
and keep up to date with new issues. VFA always welcomes information
about relevant new or local issues and initiatives, this way we can
share knowledge more effectively. |
