This is the spirit of volunteering; Ben & Jason with friends raising money in the week-long Mannequin Challenge which raised over £15,000 for St Michaels Hospice in Harrogate. Incredible vocals by Annie Drury.

 

 

Wishlist for Summer 2007

Written by Alison | 28 June 2007


On the advice of Nancy, currently in Maseno, Western Kenya, at the Jehovah Nissi Mercy Childrens Centre, here are a few items you might consider bringing to each of our hosts.


Items can be purchased cheaply in Nairobi or brought from home and all are relatively small :
  • Solar Mobile/cell charger (the whole group could share the cost then donate to your host)
  • Simple diaries for the older children
  • Big bottle of Advil / Nurofen for common cramps/ headaches (esp for the older girls during periods)
  • Spiral notebooks, pens
  • Umbrellas - the kind that fold up small - "it rained/poured the other day and the children all just got soaked with only thier sweaters"
  • Rubber bands for holding up school socks - "can't find any in market)"
  • Simple cloth book bags
  • Toothpaste
All these items are easy to carry and much needed. Many thanks to you all.
