I started Cosmic Volunteers after volunteering for three months as ateacher in rural Nepal in 2000. It was my first trip outside the US, a real
eye-opener in so many ways.

Live and volunteer in a remote African town in the hills of Machakos,away from the tourist trails and the bustle of Nairobi.

Nairobi is the largest city between Cairo and Johannesburg and one of thelargest cities in Africa with around three million people. Nairobi is thebusiness hub of East Africa, a cosmopolitan and lively place to live and
volunteer.

Tamale is the capital of the Northern Region of Ghana. It takes 11 hours
by bus to reach Tamale from the capital city Accra. The population is about
300,000, with a significant number of expats and foreign volunteers in the
region.
