Paradise Lost
Thanks to Tobias Mugiira of Paradise Lost for subsidizing the entrance costs and offering complementary boat, horse and camel rides!
After the boat rides, we had burgers, fries, juice and cake for lunch.
Fred and Johnny:
Paradise Lost is a beautiful picnic spot with lots to see and do on the way to Kiambu, past Windsor Golf and Country Club.

Little Joy was too afraid to ride on the boat, horse or camels.
After all, this was her very first outing without mum.

Giraffe Center
Dave McCallum and Kirstie Smith sponsored Sunday's trip to the Giraffe Center. Kirstie and Dave are touring Africa on their way back home to Canada. They had been teaching in Hong Kong for 3 years.
We picked them up at their campsite in Kileleshwa and took them to the Giraffe Center
Had a cup of Kenyan coffee with Alice and family in Gachie before taking them back to their campsite.
Thank you so much Kirstie and Dave for your kindness.
The kids had a lovely day and especially enjoyed touching the hair on Dave's legs!
If you are visiting Nairobi and would like to sponsor a Sunday out with the kids, please get in touch either via email: amkakenya[AT]gmail[DOT]com or phone: +254 726 67 39 31

Please be a part of this year's literacy campaign and donate as many books for children/young adults as you can.
Think of this not only as an opportunity to clean out your cupboards, but also to give the gift of joy and magic to a child.
