Last Sunday we have visited some
tea plantations in Thika, from where some of the students sponsored by ‘Sport
for Change’ come. Some of them, Elizabeth, Beth, Julius and Christine are in
this picture with me and one of the founder of 'Sport and Change', Josephine Lamshed.
Last year I have decided to
get involved in 'Sport for Change', becoming a member of the committee. ‘Sports
for Change’ is a small Kenyan organisation that undertakes a variety of sports
activities for fitness, fun and charity. Through the organisation of a varieties of sport and cultural events, we raise money to support children by paying their fees school.
We are currently supporting 13
children by paying their school fees for the year. While primary school is free in Kenya,
secondary school is not, and so even the most promising students can miss out
on secondary school if their families cannot afford the fees. Our aim is to
provide sustainable support to these students to take them through to the end
of secondary school, ensuring that we grow in a way that does not let any of our
students down in the future.
