NELSON MANDELA

Nelson Mandela once said................

“Education is the most powerful

weapon which you can use

to change the world.”

Can we change the world for just a few in WEST POKOT?

Every jouney starts with a single step............. let's take that first step!

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO

I have just put together a new video/slideshow showing some of the children that it is hoped will be helped by setting up such an organisation as this one.

The music is RISE UP by YVES LAROCK.

FOOD ALERT!!!

There is a boarding school which has been built near to the Turkwell Dam in West Pokot about 40 miles from Marich. In order to survive, this school relies entirely on charitable donations with many of the teachers working for nothing apart from board and lodging.

Herein lies the problem......... the students don't pay fees because their parents cannot afford fees. In fact many of the students are at the school because the school provides food............ education is a secondary benefit! Because the school relies entirely on donations, if the source of income dries up, the children starve............. it is as simple and as harsh as that.

The money has dried up, the food is running out and some of the most delightful, beautiful, grateful and polite children that I have been fortunate enough to meet will soon be without food.

How can anyone, in their right mind let children, like these, go hungry?
