Kenyan Stories

When I was visiting the orphan elephants and kissing a giraffe, a group of fellow travellers went to the busy nearby town of Ngong to visit the Kenya Help Women's Empowerment Centre where a new building is being constructed in conjunction with Nancy Stevens and the Kenya Help Group.  There is also an orphanage on the site which was toured by the group.  The new building is being constructed in order to facilitate some skills development programs for women such as tailoring.
The group then proceeded through Kiserian at the foot of the Ngong Hills in order that they could climb a portion of the hills to have lunch and take in the beautiful view of the Rift Valley.  The group was accompanied by some members of the Moiko family - long standing friends of both Judith and John.
After a peaceful rest and lunch the group were then energized to go back down the hills and continued on foot to the home of Stephen and Liz Moiko and their extended family where a very warm welcome was awaiting.  A special thank you to Judith for sharing this story and pictures.  Good to have all stories included in the blog!
