Josphat was up early to try and sort a problem with lack of water in the house. Fortunately he succeeded in time for us to have a shower.
Being Saturday, there were no classes at the school, and various groups of staff and pupils came to Josphat’s house to receive gifts of garments.
Football strips of various sizes, donated by Cameron, one of Tina’s relatives, were given to pupils. These were all from top UK and European clubs and national teams. Other shirts had been donated by an organisation in the UK that collects used kit and passes it on to disadvantaged children.
Tina and I also brought out tee-shirts, sweatshirts, woolly hats and high visibility jackets, which we passed on to house mothers and other support staff. These had been donated by Sheena, a former volunteer.
All of the recipients were thrilled and we took numerous photos of everyone.
Josphat took us to Saiwa Swamp National Park in the afternoon. Kenya has several famous wild life parks, but this less-known one is the smallest. It is known for its protection of Sitatunga, a rare and endangered semi-aquatic antelope. Unfortunately we arrived at the wrong time of day and didn’t spot any!
