    Story

    Many of you dear friends remember sponsoring Dawn's class to provide guttering and a water tank to a school for special needs and orphaned children in Nairobi, Kenya. We have just returned from there and have seen the water tank in use and all the connecting guttering. Fantastic! It has made such a difference. However, the structure of the temporary school is collapsing , literally, with classes subsiding and is under threat of being taken back by the Government. We have just enough money to prop it up temporarily, from everyone's generous giving, but in reality, we need to think about building a new school on a piece of land that is permanent and owned by the school.

    Roseanne is the dedicated teacher Dawn met a year ago. She devotes her time voluntarily to the most poor and needy children in their society. Children who have been left to die by their shamed parents as they have a disability, or children who literally have no parents or home to go to. The work she does is fantastic, but they literally have nothing. She provides them with safety and food each day, but needs donations to do so as these children are not supported by the government. When we released a dozen footballs on a scrap of land in the middle of the slum, with sewerage running by, the children cheered and laughed in pure delight. We painted pictures with them and added just a little colour to the dark crumbling classrooms, but the need for furniture, resources and more importantly, a permanent school, is urgent.

    This is a huge vision. Please help us to help them. We are in this for the long haul, but we are sure we can do it as people like you take the time to read the story and support us.

    Thank you so much .

    Dawn, Martin, Joe and Anna Harris
