Kenya 2019

I am an Explorer Scout with the Charmouth Seagulls, I have been selected to go to Kenya in the summer of 2019. This expedition is with the West Dorset Explorer Scouts and the Dorset Expeditionary Society. This experience involves helping the community in Maara Sub-County, Kenya.  We will be involved with: 
Developing the Baragu Health Centre, 
Improving houses for local families,
Repairing classrooms in local schools,
Assisting teachers in the Donna Kelly special needs unit, 
Teaching Maths, Computer Skills and English in local schools.
This opportunity will aid the Kenyan people and open my eyes to other cultures.  We will be staying on a small farm on the slopes of Mt Kenya and will be buying and cooking our own food. We will be expected to work effectively together to plan and carry out the various projects.
I will also take part in a high altitude 4 day trek on Mt Kenya and hope to go on safari in the Samburu Reserve.

Thank you for helping me with this adventure and allowing me to take this once in a life time opportunity - it will not only help me to develop as a young leader but also help the local community in Kenya.
