We have had another message from Kenya too as the communities are aware of what we are doing…

“We salute the primary school that has offered the raise the money through Karibuni. Surely this is amazing love. Am sure they have already covered some Miles. Let them now we appreciate there efforts at such a tender age. Surely our God in heaven will reward them. Let them press on.”  Mercy is the social worker at Meru Township programme in the middle of an appalling slum area. The project is situated in a Catholic Primary School where the headmistress is very proactive in improving the lives and opportunities of these very poor families.

With love

Mercy

Shropshire Council are offering a helpline to parents who may have concerns about returning children to school.  It is available from 17th August to 2nd September.

Good Morning Brown Clee!

Well done everyone who has sent some miles in to add up for Archie’s Kenyan Safari – we reached 175 miles by the end of yesterday so are well up the Kenyan coast…

Keep on sending the miles in, and photos too – I havent spotted many African animals yet, apart from the Foxes!

Yesterday we learnt some fascinating facts about Kenya – today I thought I’d take you on safari…

How many different animals did you see?  I wonder why they live in Kenya and not in the UK?  What a wonderfully diverse world we live in –
