Nearly three months has passed now here in Kenya and they have been the most busy, exciting and stressful months of my life without a doubt. This update will not be your normal update like you will have received from others who you have helped in the past. I’ll try fill you in as best I can. Upon hearing the news that we will apply next year for funding we all sat down and had a big meeting to discuss the future of Badilisha Maisha. […]

14 Mangos a Day by Naomi Dunphy
Report 4- this is crazy! Time definitely flies when you are having fun. It’s actually pretty sad that I am nearly half way through my time.

Marriage Proposals by Emma Campbell
My first week in South Africa was pretty chaotic, but very exciting! After a 7 hour flight from Heathrow to Dubai, then a 8 hour flight to Johannesburg, then a two day stay in Johannesburg visiting Soweto, the Hector Pieterson and Apartheid museums, last minute training and finally a 1 ½ hour flight on a rattling 27 seater plane into Mthatha airport. The plane journey was beautiful, soaring over the mountains of Lesotho and down into the outlying areas of Mthatha. The so called “airport” […]
