Day 11 by Mrs Stewart (and my last day!!)
Fri 28th October - 6.35pm by Tom Cheesmur
Jambo for the last time from Kenya.... time to say goodbye.. it has been a great week and a voyage of discovery. Kenya is a beautiful country with a great deal to offer; sunshine and warm breezes, very friendly people, the stunning Indian Ocean and wild animals in their natural habitat.
It has all been an amazing experience and best of all has being spending time with the St Andrew's boys and staff at the Victory school! The children have so little and yet are so very happy... today's PPI time demonstrated this fully! I was full of tears and smiles as I listened to the children sing with such a passion giving thanks for being so happy!!! It was a wonderful thing to observe and I will never forget the overwhelming feeling of joy in the room.
Our boys have been amazing, working so well with the teachers - a true family in Kenya. Thank you to you all for your time and company - you are all incredible people! Thank you for my gifts this evening and the thank you note with the words of songs sung today - I will treasure the words and remember you all singing with the children at the school. Have a great safari this weekend and a safe journey home, I will be waiting at school to welcome you and say "Jambo" again!!
I travel home early tomorrow knowing I will never forget the new friends I have made and hope to return again some day soon!! and Katy yes you are right ... now to spend the next months working through the lovely memories I have made.
Looking forward to seeing my beautiful daughters, Lauren and Kerry, and my gorgeous grandson Riley, and Myrui.... and to be grateful every day for my life at home.
Goodbye for now boys from Nana!!!! See you in the staffroom teachers!!!
M xx
I travel home very early tomorrow
