Voluntary Service Scheme is an initiative by boys of Starehe to work in any Government Enterprise or Hospital for a certain number of days (mostly three weeks), during the holidays. Surprisingly, the suggestion was put forward by one of the boys during a senior Baraza in the school. It was in line with the idea that to whom much is given, much is required. Under this scheme, students from either form two, three or in college sacrifice their holidays to undertake a three or four week service free of charge. The student can do virtually any kind of work, ranging from cleaning, wheeling patients in hospitals, filing documents in offices, entering data in computer systems and so on. At the end of the period, the person in charge of the Department where the student was working writes a report on the student's activities over the period and makes necessary recommendations. The report is then posted to the School for to the Director's officer for filing purposes. So far, the students have given service to approximately all the constituencies in the country. As per the current records, the amount of work done by the students is equivalent to more than a century of work by one person. This period is bound to increase as more boys apply to undertake holiday jobs year in year out. Our principle is straight, If you a given a cup of coffee to wash, wash it cleaner than any other cup that has ever been washed before. The principle was started by the founder of Starehe, Dr. Geoffrey Griffin, and has ever since kept the Voluntary Service Scheme moving. Incase you want some boys to work with your organization, please feel free to contact the Director.
