My story

 

 

Jambo rafiki's, hello friends,

 

This page was orginally set up to raise money for a water well to be built in the heart of the Majimboni community.  As we have smashed that target with the generosity of you fabulous people, we are now extending the target to provide spare parts and to counter any potential problems with the build.  Therefore, we are asking you all to dig deep once again for this important cause.

 

For those of you new to the page or who need a refresher on the cause; basically a group of us visited Majimboni, Kenya to volunteer on a community based project.  Whilst there we were touched by the wonderful people who showed such grace and kindness with the tough lives they lead.  They truly value what they have instead of what they don't have.  There is no running water in the village and it was often the responsibility of the children to fetch this from the local river everyday.  The minimum journey would take 2km and needed to be fetched before or after school - this is obviously time which could be dedicated to study, play or family time.  Which is why we have decided to raise the money to put this important structure in to the community - a lasting gift which will go on to providing for many liftimes to come - impacting everybody's life. 

 

I have attached to some pictures to try and highlight Majimboni.
