Our Schools' Scouts Association

In addition to carrying a full academic schedule, our Nairobi Kids also have the opportunity to participate in after school activities such as the Kenya Scouting Association.  Scouting has a long history in Kenya, dating back to 1910.  The focus of the Kenya Scouting Association is on community service and character building.  Scouting has become very popular in Kenya in recent years, and troops can be found at schools across the nation, including Galilee Primary and Waddington High Schools. 

The video above was taken in late 2012 during a celebration of World Water Day on the Galilee campus.  The occasion was organized by the Haki Water Organization and sponsored by the manufacturers of Life Guard Soap, which provided bathing soap to all of the children.  The GPS/WHS Scout Troop can be seen marching in the video in their uniforms.  We are so happy to know our students can participate in these learning opportunities.

Girl Scouts Help Galilee!

Lisa is one of our sponsors who also leads Girl Scout Troop #235 in Akron, Ohio.  They recently raised $330 in order to purchase items for some of our Galilee children!

  Balls, jump ropes and packs of rulers were provided for the children's use!

Eight needy unsponsored boys were the recipients of new uniforms.

New uniforms were also provided to eight unsponsored needy girls.

Here is one little boy who received a new uniform.  Something as simple as a new pair of shorts and a shirt makes a world of difference to the children.

Shanita was a recipient of a new uniform.  She is one of our children who also needs a sponsor.  

Could it be you?

The Girl Scout Troop also provided mosquito nets, school shoes, washbowls and washcloths to a couple of children.  We thank these wonderful girls from the bottom of our hearts for the difference they made for so many other children!
