KENYA TRIP: KC & CANFAR- DAY 2-7

Hey KC Fans! Today is day seven of the Kenya Trip with Evolve Tours! We're playing catch up on LKC due to the Blogger server being down. We updated on http://luvkeshiachante.tumblr.com/ but now, we're able to update here as well. Check out some amazing new photos of Ms. Keshia at the Irura Primary School in Nanyuki which she posted on her official facebook page! Keshia twitpic`d today as she helped finished painting one of the classrooms at Irura. You can read below, and play catch up on the CANFAR Keyna trip itinerary with us.

Day 2 to 5: Community Project 1
Our service project site, the CEDEC Orphanage in Nanyuki caters to 70 children from ages 2 to 18, where many of the kids have lost both parents to HIV/AIDS, and many of  which also struggle with the disease. This is one of the undoubted highlights of the trip – a real insight into another culture that also throws a fresh light on our own lives. Help the school and orphanage develop infrastructure by building new classrooms, have a go at teaching sport and English, organize a soccer match and more.

Day 5: Community Project 1, Market and Hospital Visit
Continue with the service project and visit the hospital in Nanyuki to see first-hand the lack of facilities and overcrowding that are common to these medical centres. Speak with the doctor on duty about the problems they face as medical practitioners in rural Kenya.

Day 6: Community Project 1, Homestead visit
Continue with the service project. Speak with locals about raising kids in Kenya and the quality of education. Head out with the herding boys and gain an insight into child labour that the family requires to survive.


Day 7: Safari Day
A full-day wildlife safari in one of Laikipia’s huge wildlife sanctuaries, either Ol Pejeta and Solio. See Kenya’s most famous animals, known as “the big 5”: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and rhinoceroses.
