My mission in Kiabakari in the span of twenty years has been truly blessed with the presence and selfless service of scores of volunteers, mainly from my homeland. I am deeply impressed and amazed at their magnanimous attitude and impact they made on the progress of my mission and its institutions, mainly in health service and education areas, but not only... I salute them, commend their service and give them due respect.
The Foundation Kiabakari, of which I am proud to be a co-founder, has volunteerism in its blood. In fact, there are only volunteers involved in its activities till now! No paid employees so far since the creation of the Foundation in 2009! Selfless service, missionary spirit and seriousness in their approach to tasks is what makes me proud of them.
If you want to learn more about volunteerism in our Foundation, how to become one, please visit the Foundation's website at www.kiabakari.org, in particular - the section dealing with the volunteerism (click here).
If you wish to learn the Decalog of the volunteerism - 10 things to know before volunteering overseas, read this article.
I found the following videos interesting and motivational. Yes, they don't deal much with missionary volunteerism. Still, they are valuable. Please, watch them carefully and maybe you will feel in your heart a special call to become a volunteer yourself, possibly in my mission in Kiabakari. That would be fantastic!

I hope this page will be an inspiration for you to think about the prospect of becoming a volunteer yourself, be it in your local community, in your country or abroad.
It is my dream and intention of my prayers to make Kiabakari a friendly place for international volunteerism. If your call is to come to Kiabakari with good intention to join us - in making together lives of people I serve better - you will find the doors to our place wide open for you. May the Holy Spirit lead you and enlighten you in this matter.
Karibuni Kiabakari! Below - a few pictures of our volunteers in Kiabakari.
