We are
now living in Mombasa. In a village called Mtwapa about 40
minutes from Mombasa city center we have hired a home . The
children have moved in July with the staff and volunteers.
From all the comments I heard the children are very happy
and the staff as well. The volunteers are enjoying the beach
and warm climate. At the moment we have quite a number of
volunteers because of the summer holidays in Holland but we
have arranged well. This means however that there is not a
lot to do for all the volunteers and they can spend a lot of
free time with the children and on their own. From september
it will be quiet again and we will accommodate about 4
volunteers.
The house
in in the area of Kenya Marine land. it is about 10 minutes
from Melrose Place by local bus ) matatu . The children will
resume their school after the summer holidays in september.
Melrose
Place is also full. There are 4 volunteers hosted, one
couple and 2 friends. Melrose Place is having 2 bedrooms.
One spacious one and one small one and can host 4 visitors
if they are related to each other by 2. ( like 2 couples of
one couple and 2 friends ) if we have only 4 volunteers the
bungalow will be rented out to volunteers who want to spend
their free time or holiday for longer time and to tourist
paying only 20 euro per person including 3 meals.
We now
are settled in Mombasa, but the real work has to start now.
We need our own home, our own plot and house. There are so
many children out there in an urgent need and cry for help.
We need help. Financial help to buy a plot and to build a
house. If you have any suggestion to assist us to fullfill
our dream;
Thank you
and God bless you
