AUGUST 2011 – BACK… TO GROW!

We arrive full of gifts: air balls offered by Euronda S.p.a., T-shirts by our friends Ksenia&Marco, shoes offered by De Fonseca and lot of colored paste to play and create different shapes! On top of this, we go to the school library in Malindi to buy books and stationeries. And then again, new mattresses, little chairs for baby classes… time is always very short, but things to do are very many! We meet Hamissy to assign the usual ordinary maintenance duties, such as plumbing repairs, painting of the blackboards, retouching the plaster. Not to speak of the budget settlement for the following year …. We attend the completion works of the external floor: the new “galana” floors are finally finished! Now our children can safely play outside, free from the risk of catching the Tunga Penetratis.

But the main target of this trip was the purchase of a piece of land close to our school to raise two new classrooms where to guest the increasing number of children, who rely upon us in the search of care and education. And we’ve made it! Provisionally we’ll be back by January 2012 to finalize the purchase operation of new land.
The last day, between cakes, smiles and some tears, we get ready for our trip back to Italy to start working hard!!! Kids: we’ll do our best to give you two new classrooms as soon as possible!!

Who was there: Stefano, Michela e Fanny, together with Anna and Chicca
