OUT OF AFRICA
Our group returned safe and sound from Kenya on Saturday 12th November.
After a marathon journey, upon arrival in Nakuru, we were divided info 3 projects at The Walk Centre, Mama Kerry & Hadassah schools.
Day to day work ranged from teaching support to cooking, painting, installing new guttering, plastering and even football coaching.
As expected, the poverty was quite extreme in places & many kids at the schools were most deprived.
A few stats to note: -
1 in 5 have HIV; 40% of people are unemployed; Average wage is around £7 per week
Despite severe hardships, the spirit of all people we met was inspirational.
I've taken a multitude of pictures throughout the trip and also recorded a journal on our day to day activities.
Please contact me if you would like to receive any photos or copy of the journal.
I could not have made this journey without the generosity of people who donated to this page and elsewhere. I am deeply indebted for all help & assistance rendered.
On the journey home, we were honoured to visit the Kibera Celtic football team. Kibera is a slum area in Nairobi, the biggest in Africa & the second biggest in the world.
It is one of the most densely populated places on earth with a population approaching 1 million people in an area of approximately 1.5 square miles.
Like the trip itself, a truly mind-blowing statistic.
Akin to the rest of the volunteers who travelled, I have been blessed with a host of magical memories which I shall treasure forever.
Thank you.
Napenda Kenya! (I love Kenya)
