As Elimu and a small band of supporters prepare to fly out of London next week to visit our schools in Kenya... we thought we would just highlight the lovely Nandi Hills:
Below is a rough ariel map of the town itself showing where the schools are in relation to one another and places such as Tea Planters Inn, a beautiful guest house owned by Titus Kipyab, Chairman of the Kenya Tea Board and a most gracious host who, last July, moved out of his own, newly renovated home to accommodate everyone on our sixth form visit. Tea Planters feels like home to all who stay there.
Please check back from the 21st onwards for new updates from Kenya. This will include the thoughts and photo diaries of two Kenyan students, one from Kipriria and one from Kipsamo, who have been using disposable cameras sent all the way from the UK to record aspects of their lives for our new 'Week in the Life' project. The idea is to present a mix of different voices and to develop our school linking programmes.
More on that to follow - along with news from our UK partners!
And finally... we would like to say a huge thank you to ex-sixth former Kathleen Dungan, her mother Anne and the 4th Crofton Brownies. Kathleen, who is now a student at Loughborough University, took part in The Priory's visit to Kenya earlier this year and she and Anne have kindly organised for their local Brownie group to raise funds for Stalion this term. Stalion, as many of you will know, is a nursery school in Nandi Hills and Elimu's current development project. 4th Crofton Brownies raised just over £40 from a cake sale last Sunday and plan to raise some more with a bring and buy sale next month. Over the next few weeks, they will also be making Christmas decorations to sell!
We will be discussing with the school's founder next week what specifically these fundraisers should go towards.
With thanks,
Jo
