Merry Christmas from all at Out of Afrika! Thank you for your continued support throughout 2018 and best wishes for 2019.

Sponsors visit 2018

In October this year 5 Out of Afrika supporters spent a week in Kenya. They were fortunate to meet and spend time chatting to their sponsored students.  Rosalind said  "I met my 2 sponsored children during that week and it was amazing!They both feel closer to my heart now and I can't wait to catch up with them next time! I would advise all sponsors to go If possible - it's well worth it!"

The trip also included a 3 -day road safari to the Masai Mara staying at the Mara Sopa Lodge and visiting a masai village. The group saw 4 out of the big 5, so a great safari for all!

 
The group visited ICT college to see where your donations of books and IT equipment go. We also met some of the fire fighters and EMT's.The fire drill was exciting to watch!
Other highlights included the Karen Blixen's museum, Kazuri beads workshop, the David Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary, the Giraffe Centre and plenty of shopping for Kenyan curio's! 

We hope to arrange another visit to Kenya in 2020. Please contact kerry@outofafrika.org if you would be interested in joining us!
Sponsored students
In November 15 sponsored students sat their secondary school exams and 7 sponsored students sat their primary school exams. We look forward to receiving their exam results and hearing about their future plans in the new year! We will be in touch with sponsors in January/February when we have received all the reports.
College and university students continue with their 2nd and 3rd year courses and we wish them all the best. 

 

We are amazed at the donations we have received for this year's Christmas Food Parcel Appeal and have reached £999! The sponsored students will meet with Bibian before Christmas to receive their food parcels and gifts. If you would still like to donate please visit https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ooachristmas2018 

 

Upcoming events

We couldn't support the number of students in Kenya that we do without help from our fundraisers. In July 2019 Jon will be riding the RideLondon100 for Out of Afrika again. This is a 100 mile cycle ride through London to Surrey and Jon has already made an excellent start with his fundraising! If you would like to help Jon reach his fundraising target visit his page here: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=Cycling-Jon&pageUrl=28  

We would also like to have another OOA team event in 2019 such as a sponsored walk, trek or mountain climb.We are always looking for new ways of fundraising. If you have any ideas, please do get in touch: 
kerry@outofafrika.org 

Thank you again for your continued support!
