How did you hear about ZanaAfrica? Why do you want to volunteer for this organization? (4-6 sentences)

What do you see as the pros and cons of the non-profit industry and the challenges in international development?

What was the most significant challenge you have overcome in your life? Why was it important? How has it changed you?

What are two things you have learned about yourself in the last four years, and how did you come to that knowledge?

Given that spirituality is important in Africa (in ways that it is not in America, for instance) what are your personal perspectives about faith and why? While working with ZanaA does not require that you subscribe to or practice a particular religion, you will find that most people in Kenya, including your co-workers, have strong feelings about their own personal faith, and this will undoubtedly be part of your experience and journey in Nairobi if you are coming from abroad.

Please indicate the dates you will be available to volunteer and the maximum duration you are willing to stay with ZanaA.
