Day 6 Mt Kenya & Gitero Primary School

It was a happy group that moved on to Mt Kenya, stopping first for a picnic lunch at dramatic Thompson Falls- Here we avoided the painted warriors who posed by the roadside for tourists to photograph.

We dined in a marquee and it was noticeably colder. Next morning we trekked with William who explained about many of the plants en route. Sandy tried to help some ladies carry their firewood but could hardly move with the load.

Johnson and Esther were perfect hosts and each explained their special project to help the area. With a large donation from Canada and some engineering expertise, water is pumped into the area powered by wind mills. Esther had plans drawn to set up a technical school to train the children after primary level.

Solomon proudly detailed that Gitero Primary featured as 3rd in the list for academic success in the region. The children were a great credit to all the staff and sponsors. The lessons for the morning? Pythagoras and drawn on the board for us by little Ken.
