July is always a month that everyone at Children of Kibera Foundation and Red Rose School waits for in anticipation. It is a month that the Foundation and the school are abuzz with activities. It is a month that we annually host volunteers from the USA.
A special morning it was today. The students, teachers and CoKF staff alike counted seconds as they ticked away in that apprehensive hour, the roar of the bus and the knock at our office gate brought the waiting to deserved end.
In our compound the visitors entered, the joy that the mood brought was so intense, the emotions of reunion with old friends was moving. Songs of welcome were sung poems were recited; volunteers were assigned classes and activities to run for the next two weeks began. The day ended with everyone converging at Red Rose up-school to join in the partaking of a mouth watering lunch of beef Pilau (Swahili Delicacy)
To our visitors we say: ‘Karibu Kenya!’
'It is good being back' -Sarah Coste-Member,CoKF USA Board of Directors
