Mrs Stewart has arrived
Sat 22nd October - 6.29pm by Maria Stewart
Jambo... I'm here finally!! After a good journey from Heathrow to Nairobi ... then chaos!!! Grabbing TWO (very heavy!) suitcases and running across the road to the domestic flight terminal!! I arrived in Mombassa to be greeted by Mr Cheesmur and Miss Page with big hugs!! Quick stop at the hotel and to the school where all the boys and pupils greeted me with smiles!
Long day... visit to the Village of Bombalulu and crocodile farm. Held a baby crocodile, snake and ate croc!!
First impressions... our boys and staff are amazing... keen and enthusiastic about everything they have done and going to do, a real credit to all!! As for Kenya and the locals.... we are a million miles away... and a world apart. The sights are humbling... and I feel very fortunate for everything .... it makes you realise how far apart needs and wants really are...
Thank you to all the Kenya staff and boys for their fantastic welcome and for sharing their time in Kenya with me. I can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

Hey MJS!
Glad you got there okay, and with that heavy bag as well!
You must have been absolutely shattered, especially if you did the croc farm and Bombolulu as soon as you arrived :)
What a great day to arrive though :)
I hope you had a well earned sleep on Saturday night, have you managed a swim yet??
Speak soon

Hi Maria. Hope you're alright. I'm very proud to call you my sister and I'm sure that you'll help to make a difference to many more children's lives there as you have done at home. Glad you're enjoying the experience. Take care and see you soon xxxx
