School trip to Nairobi

Rose mentioned that wouldn't it be lovely if, one day, the children could have a school trip to Nairobi (most of the children have never been out of Nanyuki).  So we set about costing such a trip and gave Rose some of the fund-raising money we had to cover the trip for 70 children.  The children will set out early in the coach to Nairobi (about 3 hours) and visit the Giraffe Centre. Incidentally we visited this wonderful centre on our way home and chatted to the staff.  They said the entrance would be free to the Nanyuki school children and could we just give a donation.  You can feed the giraffes and even hold the food between your teeth for them to take - you get a bit of a face wash!

Also on the trip the children will visit the animal orphange where thay can meet a lion, leopard, cheetah, various monkeys, hyena and ostrich to name but a few. They then will move into the city centre to pay a visit to the national museum and Snake Park situated next door.  We have also included in the money packed lunches, snacks and ice-cream.

Sarah, one of the volunteers still there, will be going with them and will be able to give us details of the trip.  Have a wonderful day!
