Hi from Nairobi again...firstly thank you ever so much Nina for your comment on our previous posting. It is beautifuil and your Christmas thoughts are so appreciated! I know there is already a need in the village. Granny #2 is waiting for her home to be built so when it rains she doesnt get soaked, and there are needs for borehols badly. Not to mention to help the grannies' grandchildren go to secondary school, and not be school dropouts.
Today, on our "in between filming" day, we met Nicholas, a friend of Roz's and saw first hand what a little support can do to make a boy into an awesome man. He is now 25 and has no use of legs. He is on crutches, has been schooled with the support of many, and is about to gradutate with awesome skills in poetry and literature. He wants to be a teacher! And coincidentally, he comes from the village near where we've been working!!!! So, we hope to create more connections - it would be great to encourage as many people to stay in the villages rather than become urbanised. With so many living in slums, city life has not proved itself to be much for young people. Thats why I think what's going on in the village is incredible!!!
All our love Q xx
