Can You Help?

Our Wish List

As you will have seen in our previous post, we are ready to get started with our various projects - and a few that haven't been mentioned - which will help improve the lives of the kids at Twiga, the community around Kisii and hopefully, if successful, we will be able to work with other NGOs and charities to introduce the best to a wider world.

But we need stuff. We need gardening tools, spades, forks, hoes, rakes. We could do with a vehicle. Although this is a big wish, if we could borrow something that can carry equipment and tools to the site, it would be great.

But most of all, we need money! But, not a lot.

I reckon that, if we were lent a vehicle, we could get things started on £500. If, on the other hand we have to hire a vehicle, we would need nearer £1,000.

If you can help us raise some funds, or advertise our cause and website please contact us.

Thank you.

A Friendly name ...

Our newly acquired children's home ... the official name is fine, but it is cold and distant.

This is the last thing we want for a children's home. I mentioned this to Vincent yesterday. I wanted an animal in the "friendly" name. We went through the best-known animals to be seen in Kenya (although I doubt that most of the kids had ever seen them), and eventually settled on the giraffe

Why a giraffe? Because the Swahili for giraffe is Twiga, and I like the word ~ Twiga Children's Home.

So that's it. The KCIS Child Support Centre will be known as the Twiga Children's Home.
