Determination

This is what determination looks like. My gorgeous grandson Tommy - as many of you know - was born without a right hand. He showed us just how determined he was yesterday by crawling - so proud of him! x

Nearly there

I'm sure that by now you are all heartily fed up of myself and @debrakidd 'banging on' about fund raising for a new classroom for Kakuma. If that's the case - apologies and stop reading now! However, we are soooo close - we need approx another £800 and we can have a classroom built within 3 months. We've managed to raise £4,400 through generous donations, friends, selling clothes (Debbie you need to stop now), selling cards, offering our time ...basically anything we can think of. I cannot begin to tell you how much it affected us - how grim the conditions in Kakuma 4 are.
 The dust, the heat, the lack of resources all make life almost impossible at times.




It's Good Friday today and my kitchen side is full of Easter eggs for various children - I expect yours is too - is there any way you could donate the cost of an Easter egg - £2 or £3 to help us achieve our goal - knowing how we felt after just a few days I cannot imagine the horror of this now being your way of life. The best way we can help is to provide other classrooms - 200 in a class is unworkable - each new classroom cuts down on class sizes.
Thank you so much to those of you who have already helped.
Please - we need your support.
