Teaching volunteer opportunities:

o you want to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged students? Do you have some free time on Saturday afternoons? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be interested in joining Uhuru Walk as a Volunteering Teacher!

Uhuru Walk is a community service initiative of Meadows Schools that provides English language training to disadvantaged children from low-income backgrounds and from Children’s homes. We use fun and interactive methods such as play, reading and writing to help them improve their skills and confidence. We believe that learning English can open up new opportunities and possibilities for them in the future.

As a Volunteering Teacher, you will be part of a team of dedicated and passionate individuals who share the same vision and mission. You will receive training and guidance on how to teach effectively and creatively. You will also have the chance to meet new people, make new friends and have fun while doing something meaningful.

No prior teaching experience is necessary, but you must be committed and driven enough to stick with the service until the end. You must also be fluent in English and have a positive attitude.

If you are interested, please contact us at info@uhuruwalk.org or visit our website at www.uhuruwalk.org for more information. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Dynamic team of Organizers, Sponsors & Volunteers

As an innovation-driven, multifaceted event, Uhuru Walk brings its event and projects to life through the creation of a strong network of organizers, sponsors and volunteers. In the fold of Uhuru Walk’s family, each enjoys the intrinsic contentment of being a part of something larger than themselves. In the process, long-lasting bonds of inter-reliability, trust, and enthusiasm are cultivated between our teams, acting as an avenue to meet new people, network and create friendships.

Each year, a team of key individuals are hand-picked as organizers to bring their unique talents and experiences to our philosophy. Working together under accomplished trainer and Uhuru Walk founder Mohamedarif Suleman, and team leaders Saleha and Sarah Suleman, organizer roles span numerous dimensions of the event; ranging from fundraising, marketing, event coordination and more. During the year of preparation, they are each scored on their performance in an exciting contest for the top 3 organizers in the committee, who take home awards and tokens of appreciation for their significant contribution in the creation of an event that brings together thousands for fun and sharing of opportunities to the less fortunate.

Volunteers are the arms of our work

Uhuru Walk volunteers are the arms of our work, who engage committedly in long-term projects and campaigns facilitated by the Uhuru Walk event.

Presently, our weekly English Literacy Classes are prepared and run by a diverse committee of Volunteering Teachers (VT’s). During their time with us, they receive rigorous and practical training in delivering Early Childhood Education from Banu Dinani-Suleman at Meadows Academy, and Sarah Suleman particularly to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and are awarded certificates. This exposes them to a range of future volunteering and career opportunities in the field of community service and education.

Volunteers with Commitment

Uhuru Walk’s family always welcomes new members who prefer to contribute either as organizers/volunteers or sponsors who share one common goal – facilitating independence through education for underprivileged children. We stand by the

Uhuru Walk philosophy of, “You are not alone. Because we are with you,” and pledge this to every child we work with. Joining our family fortifies our pledge and strengthens our unique, strong network of talented and selfless individuals.

Joining as a volunteer requires a commitment of at least 4 months while joining as an organizer involves a commitment of approximately 1 year. Both roles play an instrumental role in bringing our projects to life through creativity and passion. To apply, complete this form or contact us through our social media pages.

What is Uhuru Walk?

As an event that has welcomed thousands of participants over the past 8 years, it facilitates the provision of Early Learning Education, English Literacy Classes, and Charity Drives for disadvantaged children at House of Blue Hope Orphanage.
