A day in the life at Kili Kids

 

 

 

Mount Kilimanjaro view from Kili Kids

 

Volunteering at Kili Kids is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience.  Our day begins with a 10 minute walk to catch the Dala Dala (the local transportation).  A 15 minute ride on the Dala Dala takes us to the Mila Sita village area where we walk for about 30 minutes to the Kili Kids orphanage.
