We will be travelling to Gilgil in the Rift Valley in Kenya this summer to spend two weeks volunteering with the Sanata Trust ( http://www.restartafrica.org/ ). The Trust runs a children’s home, known as the Restart Centre, which cares for abandoned, orphaned and neglected children, as well as running agricultural, craft and other projects to provide training and income generation opportunities for the community. We are working closely with the Trust to develop a programme which will include running sessions on health and hygiene, environmental issues, self-esteem and English, as well as games and activities to brighten the children’s day. We will also be meeting some Kenyan Guides to learn more about guiding in their country.
Kenya is a fascinating country with incredible wildlife, rich cultural heritage and an important place in Guiding history. We have created this blog so that you can share in our exciting trip.
