Chapter One – A New Hope!

Refreshed after a night in a Nairobi hotel, a good sleep and a breakfast watching Kenyan Red Kites fly around the 7th floor restaurant windows, we loaded up the same van with some cases inside this time. Jon and Catherine organised the cases on the roof and off we went through the Nairobi traffic to New Hope.

An hour later, bobbing and weaving through the traffic and endless road works, we arrived at the Orphanage. There are 105 children from newborn to 18 here and they quickly swarmed around us all.

We unloaded our cases and were welcomed into the building by Anne, given a tour and told the history of the orphanage from when they started in 2000. When we went to our rooms, we have individual letters to us from children in the Orphanage

We spent the afternoon playing games with the kids in the playing field and tomorrow we start running our craft, music and sports clubs. It should be an interesting day!
