Eastbourne school links with Nairobi slum school

Children at Church on the Rock
school enjoy uji at break time

The class 4 students at Shinewater Primary School in Eastbourne are keen to find out how their lives compare with the children who attend the Church on the Rock school in Nairobi's Kware slum.

Martin and Mary Print have been asked to take three lessons at Shinewater school . The first will describe the people and geography of Kenya and the second will focus on what life is like for a child in the slums in Kenya. The final session will compare the children's lives, interests and hopes for the future.

The lessons build on work that Martin and Mary have been doing over the past three years with Southwark Park School in SE London.
