Kenya 14 September 2008
I am off to Kenya today for a week with World Vision Ireland – I’m a patron, along with the lovely and talented Victoria Smurfit. Vic can’t come as she’s is great with child and I’ll miss her on the adventure. Basically, we are about to sign off on our first ever self sufficient project. There is a community in Kenya now ready to function on its own. It’s a very proud day for us and has been about 15 years in the making. This is what it’s all about – giving a good quality of life to a whole community while focusing on sponsored children – it costs less to sponsor a child than the price of a takeaway coffee a day. We’ll film how things are over there to show everyone over here when we return. And now you know why I got myself all of those exotic diseases.
I hear tell of a little internet service in the small town we’ll be staying in (about an hour and a half outside Nairobi) so blog service should be as usual.
And of course, as we all know, even if I cannot blog, there are others who can on my behalf or in my stead – remember Lviv at the New Year? Oh, there’s always a way…
