Pencils for the displaced children...

I visited the IDP camp in Naivasha today and took with me the gifts of pens, pencils andpaper collected by Bickley Primary School.

The teachers and the children at the camp were both very grateful. These small tokens of our interest in their lives and in their education bring hope to their lives. For us, a pencil may not really mater, but for these children it is really important. They don't have a building to go to school in, they don't have a house to go home to, and they have travelled a long way away from where they used to live because they were in danger.

The pencils given by the children in Bickley are signs of hope - they show that people care, that people know that things are difficult for them, that people want to help them. We know that the children at Bickley Primary want to help the children in Naivasha - and these pencils have shown it!

So a BIG thank you to all of you at Bickley Primary!

Other exciting news from Naivasha is that at the Sunshine Complex where I live they have bought a cow, and the cow is expecting a baby! I will keep you updated - in the next couple of weeks I hope to let you all know about the new baby calf being born.
