I could quite easily say this about every single day in Kenya, but in many ways, this was one of my favourites. We had the chance to visit a Compassion project on the top of the great rift valley, and the views there were just breathtaking (and it made it super easy for sillies like… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Four – Respond
For me, Sunday was a real pivotal moment in Kenya. We were approaching the halfway mark of our trip, and I was tired. It sounds awful, but I needed a break from the intensity of the trip, and this Sunday was everything I needed. In the morning, we drove to a church that partners with… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Three – Rest Day
Let’s not even talk about how long ago my trip to Kenya was now. I remember when I came back from India, I had ALL OF THE WORDS ALL OF THE TIME. But for Kenya, I don’t. Today is the first time in months that I actually want to talk about it. That’s not because… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Two – My Favourite Saturday
Six months ago today, I was in a park in Kenya, in the presence of my sponsored child, Dorcus. In so many ways, I want to skip ahead of everything else that happened in Kenya and tell that story, but that would be like having a book and reading the last chapter first, so I… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day One – Child Survival
Five months ago, I was three days away from travelling to Kenya with Compassion to see the work they are doing in this beautiful country, and to meet my sponsored child. Five months later, and I still don’t really have any words to describe my trip. It’s not that I can’t remember anything. I think… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Five Months On
This is probably one of my most favourite things on the internet right now. If you haven’t already seen this already, watch it. Actually, even if you have seen it…watch it again. I’ve seen this advert played on tv a hundred times in the last couple of weeks, and every time it makes me cry.… Continue reading 2015 and adverts of hope
I’ve been home from Kenya for a whole eleven days. In some ways, it feels like I only arrived home yesterday, and in other ways, it feels like I haven’t even gone yet. There’s still so much to process and think about, but I finally set aside some time today to go through the photographs… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Some Photos
I’ve failed a little bit at talking about Kenya over the last few months {unless you’ve been stood in front of me for more than about 6.4 seconds…I can’t seem to hold a conversation right now without mentioning this trip!}. So many of you have told me how you have been praying for me over… Continue reading Kenya: 22 days!
I made it to the last day of my challenge to live on £1 for a week! And let me tell you. It’s been a very long week. Yesterday was the final day of my challenge, and it was definitely the hardest of them all. For the first time in my life, I was so… Continue reading Eating for Kenya #7
If I’m completely honest, I can’t really remember very much about Friday. Or about this week in general. I was really beginning to struggle with my energy and concentration levels on Friday, and I was beginning to feel the effects of not eating properly for nearly a week. The food that I have left doesn’t… Continue reading Eating for Kenya #6
