Volunteers Foundation

Wishing everyone a happy holiday! 🎉

Now that the Easter holidays have started we, at Volunteers Foundation, would like to wish you all a happy and relaxing holiday. In keeping with our celebration of different cultures and religions, we would also like to wish a blessed Easter to those celebrating it.

And please don't forget to look out for our upcoming newsletter, with all of our exciting news and updates, which you should be receiving in your email inboxes very soon!

✨ Join us for an evening of fun and impact! ✨

On 7 March, in London, we're celebrating 15 years of Volunteers Foundation and we'd love you to join us.

It's actually much more than an anniversary that we'll be celebrating.

It's 15 years of believing, again and again, that when people come together with intention, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.

It's 15 years of seeing that when a community truly listens, solutions emerge, even when the path looks impossible.

It's 15 years of so many of you showing up - for children you may never meet, and for a better future we choose to believe in.

It's 320 young lives impacted, 320 stories rewritten, 320 reasons to keep going.

Your attendance on 7 March will help us to build the next 320 stories.

Hope grows when people show up. Change begins when someone decides to care.

Come and join us!

Full Circle Moments: Music, Inspiration, and Impact

You know you’ve made a difference when, nearly ten years later, things come full circle.

In 2015, and Rob Cope joined the VF Volunteering Trip, bringing their passion for music to the children. They did what they do best - teaching songs that became part of the school’s culture, passed down from one class to another and still sung today.

But their impact didn’t stop there. Some of the students they inspired went on to study music, following in Claire and Rob’s footsteps.

On March 8th, I had the pleasure of briefly catching up with Claire (and Rob) at her and her Ensemble C most recent concert in London. The second half of the performance opened with a piece called “Amboseli”, inspired by her trip to Kenya and the breathtaking beauty of the Amboseli National Park. (Listen the piece on Apple Music, we never get tired of it)

A heartfelt thank you, , for mentioning Volunteers Foundation during the concert - and congratulations on your album and success! We are honored to have played a small part in inspiring you, and we hope to welcome you back to Kenya to inspire our students once again
