CHILDREN ON EASTER

Thanks to our great friend Henrike, the children were able to enjoy the Nairobi Safari Walk on the 10th of April 2009. To her we say 'may God bless you abundantly.

Suprise Treat

This Easter holiday, we took the children for a suprise visit to the NAIROBI SAFARI WALK. At the Nairobi safari walk, you are able to see wild animals like lion,leopard, cheetah, impala etc. It is just 20 minutes drive from our home. Most volunteers who come to stay with us will always have the opportunity to see this wilderness that is inside the modern city of Nairobi. ( this is the only national park inside a city in the whole world). The children really enjoyed the outing.

Top Student.

One of our children ( now a young adult), Annah Gathoni, who joined a secondary school form one in February 2009, has topped her class being in position one. This she achieved despite having joined the high school 2 weeks behind schedule. She is an inspiration and a good example to all the other children and we take this early opportunity to congratulate her and encourage her to perform even better aiming for the limited vacancies in our Universities in four years time.

School Fun-Day

Last Friday, we had a day full joy, happiness and lots of fun. It was the school fun-day. The children participated in different fun games. There was the hilarious feet-in-the-sack race, also the egg-in-the-spoon race, and many other enjoyable games. The teachers too played with the children including a game of volleyball.

There was a lot of silverware for the trophies to those who endured and won in the various categories. The trophies had been donated by local well wishers and we would like to thank them all and look forward to be holding these fun games every end of school term.
