Greenhouse gift increases crop yields

The boys at the Sunshine Home will soon be eating wonderful tomatoes and plump potatoes.
King's Church Orpington provided the finance to buy a greenhouse which will soon be increasing crop yields and reducing food bills for our 90 ex-street boys. Using an efficient drip-watering system, we will be able to grow crops which can't normally be grown due to lack of adequate rainfall. We plan to sell any surplus to help reduce the food bills.

Cheryl's running two 10k races!

They're happy today!

The kids are happy because they are being fed with the help of Footsteps supporters! Happy means dancing in Kenya - enjoy the children celebrating at the Church on the Rock School, Nairobi!

I did it!

I managed to do the marathon in 5 hours and 54 minutes, a whole 60 seconds better than last year! It's not too late to sponsor me as I raise funds to keep the 10 boys off the streets of Naivasha, Kenya! Visit http://www.justgiving.com/Martin-Prints-marafun-effort now!
