K1 & K2 and New Charity


Days to do are getting few............

K1.......... 44 Days..... 1056 Hours!!!!

K2.......... 99 Days..... 2376 Hours!!!!

I am considering setting up a New Charity to help those children in Kenya whose access to education is severely limited.

Following on from our fundraising efforts to build a school in Marich, the enthusiasm of our students to visit the area and a recent estimate that about 100 schools are needed in Pokot it is clear that we have only scratched the surface.




Nelson Mandela once said that
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” 

This would imply that without education, the world would NOT change and as such, if the children of the Pokot Region of Kenya were deprived of an education........................ their lives would not change.

Consequently it would be nice to be able to offer these children a chance to change their world by providing schools and, through these, an education to every child in the region.

We are provided with an education as a right and few of us look on this as a privilege. For the children of Pokot, they look on the opportunity of an education as a privilege which provides them with a chance to better their lives and those around them. They are also aware that without an education their chance to escape their day to day existence is severely limited.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know and let's get this show on the road. 

Suggestions for the name of the Charity would also be most welcome.

A school costs £10,000................................ 100 schools = £1 million!!
