With less than two months to go before our second school group makes its way through the arrivals hall of Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport, out into the city's cool nightime air and up to the suburbs of Langata... and on the next day to Naivasha to walk with zebra, antelope and giraffe and through the Rift Valley to the green and glorious Nandi Hills... our thoughts are very much on Kenya.
Wine and refreshments will be provided and all are welcome to come along for a relaxed Summer's evening of good company and fine entertainment. There will also be a chance to meet a few more of the Elimu team, with a short presentation from one of our advisors and former Kenya volunteer Andy Cooper, as well as our current and upcoming school partners.
In the meantime, we have a parents' meeting and an itinerary to present and run through and on Wednesday, 25th May, a music concert in support of our soon-to-be-built nursery school, Stalion. This is Elimu's first organised fundraiser. James Dwyer, an Elimu trustee and a talented pianist who has played by ear since the age of four, will be playing a selection of modern and contemporary music on the piano at the Ripley Arts Centre in Bromley.

We hope to see as many people as possible so please do spread the word (please see previous posts for photographs of Stalion school in its current form and why it has become our first project). July's trip to Kenya will include a visit to Stalion and according to the headteacher and Elimu rep. Sally Sang, a specially arranged evening meal in the school. They are very much looking forward to welcoming a few visitors.
With thanks,
Jo
