IT GIVES US GOOSE PUMPS
A way of giving back that has become a way of living to make a difference, to lose yourself in the service of others which teaches you to be grateful, tolerant, kind. 3 years ago, we jumped on to a trip to Saint Martins School, Kibagare, one of the poorest slums in the ourskirts of Nairobi in Kenya (Africa).
We arrived with nothing but our willing to somehow do our best to help those people living in disadvantge situations. Nowadays, we are aiming high, fostering the chance of a better future through education. There is hope, joy, love,wishes and a long journey, an exciting path ahead of us that we want to walk along together. From the very first touch point with these girls, boys, the sisters and the supportive teachers, they captured our hearts and we engaged with their starving minds thrilled to learn, fearless to explore.
We are doing our best. It will never be enough, but we won´t give up. Every single drop counts.
