Mwinyi gets new wheels



When we first met Mwinyi 5 years ago he could only crawl on his hands and knees, so, with the help of Footsteps supporters, we bought him a mobility aid which enabled him to get around (photo far right), and, importantly, to go to school.
He's grown a bit since then, and so this week he was given a new tricycle to help him get around, much to the excitement of his school friends (photo right). The trike is made at the APDK Bombolulu workshop which employs disabled workers to make them.

Rotary party enjoy visit to Footsteps projects


Five members of the Rotary Club of Bromley enjoyed a week-long visit to Kenya during which they crammed in a visit to the Church on the Rock School to see the buildings which need urgent repair, a visit to the Sunshine Home to meet our ex-street boys, 2 Rotary club meetings and a safari to Lake Nakuru national park.
They also officially opened the Sunshine Borehole, a project funded jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Bromley and Nakuru and Rotary International.
