I've raised £1000 to help myself and other students travel to Nakuru, Kenya. We will be teaching children in a local school some key maths and English skills.

Story
In Kenya many children did not get the opportunity to have an education and go to school, until Nakuru Children's Project was set up. Many of the children in Kenya are so poor that they cannot afford an education, however the two schools that Nakuru Children's project have made will be giving even more children a chance of an education with daily school meals.
My school has recently given me and 10 other students the amazing opportunity to spend a couple of weeks teaching and helping in a local school. I had to apply for one of these positions on the trip, and provide a suggestion of my lesson plan and how i would raise awareness for this Project.
The trip i will be going on is in aid of the Nakuru Children's Project which my form tutor helped to set up.
Thank you for taking the time read my story!
How education has changed children's lives
After my final primary school exams, I stayed at home hopeless with no hope. My father said that he had no money at all to take me to secondary school. I really cried very much and started planning how I would start working as a housegirl [a live-in maid] so that at least I could provide for myself and my siblings."
