I am a kenyan citizen from the Luhya community in western Kenya.I have an interest in volunteer work and adventure which easily blends with your home stay service.I therfore wish to apply for hosting visiting tourist for your consideration.

Other than just hosting, I would like to inform you of areas that may be of interest to you or the visitors where they can be involved as part of their adventure in western Kenya

1.Bull fighting
The luhya have the bull fighting culture that has attracted interest in the tourisim sector in the recent past.Two bulls are thronged by supporters as they lock horns which can last from few minutes to several hours untill one bull runs away.The winning bull is led around the pith by the happy,jubilant crowd the to home where the party begins.Though the culture is not fully exploited to full potential,improvement and inovation can lead to it being a major culture tour pakage for tourists.This can perfectly blend with the home stay service where visitors can actively perticipate in the culture.

2.The Crying Stone Adventure;
The world most unique and wonder stone which its history dates back to over 200 years.Standing 40 m tall with features like those of am man;head,neck,shoulders,and body literary crying.The rock has a spiritual significance to the community around.
This crying stone adventure can also perfectly blend with your home stay service as the visitor will ge to know why the stone crys.For the most adveturous, they can try to climb to the top of the stone and get into the Guinness Book of records.

3. Pottery
The community aroung engages in pottery work sa an economic activity.Items range from simple households to souvenirs that are sold to tourists.This is one way to involve the community in tourisim and conservation matters.Vistors have the oppurtunity to gain hands on experience from the potters themselves

4. Kakamega Forest.

The only tropical forest with unique species of snakes in their natural habitat.Other animals in the forest are monkeys,squerrels,and many bird species.Permission is require to gain access to the forest through forest depertment.

5.Excursion to Town and its environns

The closs proximity to kakamega town makes it easier for shopping,banking and internet access and other services for the visitors during their stay.

I will appreciate if granted the opportunity to host visitors through your home stay service and offer guide services to the above packages as this is may home yard.
I can host upto 10 visitors at any given time.if more,prior notification will be required to make neccesary arrangements.

Looking forward to working with you soon as a volunteer/Tour leader in western Kenya circuit through your home stay service.
