The first of 2010's volunteers arrive safely in Kenya

Written by Alison | 04 February 2010

Bryn and Helena have arrived and settled in to their 2 month placement in Kenya. They will be assisting the Ingrid Education Centre and then moving upcountry to stay with the Tumaini community in western province close to Mumias helping the work of Amanda Flanagan.

They were also joined yesterday by 2 Facebook friends and volunteers for an australian youth sports organisation that provides a "unique non-violent way of disciplining kids through mixing sport with social skill development". Imbuhira (2nd right) and Ruthy (centre) work in the city and volunteer whenever possible. We're hoping to link up Ingrids into the youth sport activities as well as assisting Michael Nam's football academy in Naivasha.

We'll be updating you regularly but you can click onto the FaceBook group for more photos.
