Over the holidays, the forty eight girls who remained at St. Clare enjoyed a safari to Sweetwaters. Boarding buses, the St. Clare girls, matrons, kitchen staff and Adrian sisters traveled to Sweetwaters, on the other side of Mount Kenya where all had a wonderful time on “safari.” Sweetwaters, host to the “Big Five,” the elephant, rhino, lion, water buffalo and hippo, has the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya.
The safari members were able to walk in designated areas and experience first hand so many of Kenya’s animals.
Truly a good time was had by all!
ABOUT
In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
