Visiting Deb at school and hiking with Robai, February 2019

Visiting Deb at her new school. She is now in Form One, her first year of secondary school! 

Robai and I enjoyed a strenuous hike, on an escarpment of the Great Rift Valley near Eldoret

Spending some quality time with my young friends, December 2018

Zach (left) and Duane, at their house in a village called Kocholia

Jeremy and his mom, Linet, joined me at Safari Walk on Christmas Day

While at Matunda, Deb and her dad joined me for a cup of chai (also with Martin)

Great visits with Agnes, her boys, and Deb - September 2018

Pope mended his trousers before heading back to school.

Robai is holding Duane 'Junior', Tony and Lydia's son (who is also Agnes' grandson).
Tony finished secondary school in 2015. Lydia is his wife and the mother to Duane. 

When he was born, I helped Agnes name Caleb Zachary after my two sons

Duane was named after my dad. It was an amazing experience when I helped at his birth in November 2004!

All of Agnes' boys, except Tony

Agnes' family is expanding and she's quite pleased about being a grandmother.

Another visit with Deb at Fountain Grammar Primary School, Matunda

This is one of Deb's teachers. He also gives her extra tutoring outside of the classroom.

I love hanging out with young people, especially those I've sponsored in school!

Robai and I had a nice visit with Agnes and her boys; unfortunately Pope was at school

As per usual, we used a boda boda for the last leg of our journey

Linet, Derrick, and Jeremy all enjoy hiking and GeoCaching. This was a fun day at Arboretum in Nairobi.

Early January 2018, another new school year starts

I met Agnes and Pope for a bite to eat and to discuss the funds needed for her sons to start another new school year

Nathan, Alice, Deb, Robai, and I are on the way to do some shopping for Deb's school supplies for the new year

We bought exercise books from a guy with a wheelbarrow

Deb is ready to enter Class 8, the final one of primary school

Enjoying the school holiday, with one more term in the school year, August 2017

Zach (Class 2) and Duane (Class 5)

Adu (Form Two, sophomore) and Pope (Form Three, junior) 

Robai (Form Four, senior) and Deb (Class 7)

Doing some shopping for the new school term, January 2017

I took Pope and Robai shopping for the various things they would need for the new year of school. While going up and down the aisles in the supermarket, we kept bumping into one of Robai's classmates, Medina. It became rather comical as we hunted for the items on our lists and would unknowingly find her and her mom again in yet another aisle.

The moms (plus me) - Amina and Agnes
