At the end of July this year we will be travelling to Kenya as a group of 31 volunteers to run a programme of sport, games, art and general fun for the children of the schools we have built in and around Kisumu. After a couple of days spent visiting some of the projects we will launch into a full programme of activities ending in a Sports Day which has become the major event in the calendar for the Footsteps Schools.
Over the last few months the volunteers have been raising money to go towards their trip and to fund a project which they will choose when we are in Kenya. Fund Raisers from Cake Sales, Dinners at Home, Cycling and Running events have all brought in a contribution to the programme of Fun. This culminated a couple of weeks ago in a frantic weekend of fundraising; a Movie themed Quiz night on the Friday and a Dinner at the Lighthouse in Wimbledon on the Sunday enabled us to raise a wonderful £20k. We have to say a big thank you to all the volunteers and to the wonderful people who supported us.
Keep an eye on the website for updates on the Rafiki team and our trip in July.
