Hi, welcome to our blog! We are two Guatemalan Industrial Designers who have been preety lucky to live in Guatemala, Norway and New York... Life has given us so much and now it's time to give something back and that's why we decided to volunteer in Mombasa, Kenya with the great organization of Cuso-Vso. Our Journey in Kenya starts here and we want you to be part of it. Help us give a bit back, donate or just keep in touch.
Giving is always better than receiving!
Bara + Chinitas
CUSO-VSO is a non-profit development agency that works through volunteers.
Each year, we send hundreds of global citizens to work on collaborative development projects in more than 40 countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are one of North America’s leading international development organizations that works through volunteers.
Contribute to a world of solutionsCUSO-VSO volunteers work at the crossroads between hope and hardship. We place people of all ages who have the hands-on know-how and perspectives needed to work with organizations working to overcome poverty. The causes of disadvantage and inequity are complicated, and volunteering is not a panacea to poverty - but we think it can be an important part of the solution.

KENYA
When most people think of Kenya, they think of world famous wilderness reserves and safari vacations – but there is so much more. Kenya is home to over 50 different ethnic tribes, all with their own languages, cultures and customs. Regarded by many as the 'jewel of East Africa', Kenya also has some of Africa’s best beaches, scenic countryside and a sophisticated tourist infrastructure. 10% of the land is designated as national parks and reserves and the wildlife sightings are one of a kind.
