The Constant Drama

I have come to Nairobi to teach in the Mukuru slums with the 'Mukuru Promotion Centre', an NGO that works tirelessly to improve life in the slums. They have set up 4 schools which support over 4000 children. I am teaching in 2 of the schools focussing on the 'slow leaners'. It is a fantastic experience full of ups and downs but never a dull moment.

BEFORE I GO...


This is just a set-up message before I go. It's 8 weeks before I fly off to Nairobi (on the 28th August) for 4 months and there is so much to organise - from getting visas, jabs, anti-malarial pills (think I'll take them this time!) to learning how to speak Swahili, working out how to teach drama and trying to get a blog up & running. Hmmm. I'm organising a fundraising pub quiz on the 24th August which I hope will be fun but also raise enough money to really make a difference to the children I'm going to be working with. Hopefully see you there & if not I'll tell you all about my trip when I get back on the 5th January! B x
