Next 58 pairs of shoes leave for Kenya
Yesterday, 12 April 2010, a further 58 pairs of shoes from St Francis school in Maldon arrived in Kenya in the bags of Damon, Phil and Abisha on their way to a workshop. Thank you so much to them.
Damon also carried the work on Traditional English Tales written by children at St Francis and we are hoping to receive some work back on Kenyan Traditional Tales from the Il Masin children.
We are a bit behind on measuring as people at the Kenyan end are very busy. As well as expecting her first baby very soon, Sara has been working on projects in Kenya and the Congo as well as keeping Shoe Rafiki going. She has been fantastic. We hope to find some more volunteers in Kenya to help with the measuring sessions.

Latest batch leaving UK for Kenya on 10 February
Johnnie McMillan, who runs a fruit/flower export company in Kenya, has given over one third of his luggage allowance to carry 30 pairs of shoes on his flight to Kenya on 10 February.
We delivered the shoes to him at his hotel in London today before he returns home from his business trip. Johnnie is a friend of Sara’s in Kenya and we are really grateful to him.

Good news- shoes being collected in California
Sequoia High School in Redwood City, California have set up a Shoe Rafiki programme using our model at St Francis’s in Maldon. Caroline Bauhaus, a member of staff at the school, contacted us to set up shoe collections after meeting Louise in the States and hearing about the project. They now have a Shoe Rafiki club made up of 8 students who meet every Friday and are collecting shoes for Il Masin in and around their college.
This should enable us to have Rafikis in Kenya and, vicariously, Rafikis in Redwood City.
