THINGS THAT MAKES US HAPPY

Today I want to feature a former colleague and dear friend of mine Mags from Ireland.

I usually feature items people love as in things, but I was so impressed by her 'thing that makes her happy', I couldn't resist.

It made and makes her very happy to help, where help is needed and where she can.

A couple of years ago she went to Africa and did some voluntary work there.
She is more of hands on person and loves to be actively involved.

She always knew she would go back, maybe even to the same place and support more, when more time and maybe a bit more money on her hands.

I should maybe mention, Mags retired recently and thought to herself, this would be the perfect time for her to go return to Africa and see what else she could do for the poor part of the society.

She ended up in Kenya in an Orphanage.

The native lady running the place stated it all while she was still too young to run a business and since she got no founds from the government she involved Mum and some other family members.

The Orphanage caters for children from as young as 1 year old up to 17/18 years.

She left me a few photos with some comments.
Enjoy!

Clean water is vital for the survival of Kenya's children / typical scene of a young girl carrying a heavy container on her head

Poor santitation needs to be addressed to move Kenya from the third world / girl carrying her sibbling barefoot along a littered street

Local Shop / pots and pans at a local market in Karen, Nirobi

Lean & Mean, the pride of Kenya on the prowl / lions in Nairobi National Park

Education is the key to Kenya's future / children playing at school ( a hat not obligatory in the midday sun)

I particularly wanted the photo with that little girl wearing the woolen hat on fairly hot day in Kenya.
Who knows maybe she is the new trend setter in her school.

The latest news I have from Mags are she is collecting books to set up a library at the Orphanage.

Thanks so much for sharing your story with us.
You rock! xxx

Hello again, hope you don't miss me too much.

I found this 'Blogger App'.

I am not sure if it works for me but I give it a shot cause I want to keep you as close as possible and miss blogging.

Oh I got so used to my laptop.

Enough with me moaning, back to business.

I hope to be able to present you my new Blog soon. 

Until then keep following on
