Homecoming, Kenya

This is a journal of my experiences in Kenya during the summer of 2006. Please keep in touch and send messages when you have time.

Helen I've been following your journey in Kenya, and learning of your amazing experiences through your journal. How wonderful that there are people like you who make a difference - and judging by your journals you certainly have! Lauren's been keeping me posted on your progress too. I've no idea how you wind down from such an emotive and challenging experience, but I'm sure that it's a journey you'll never forget. Well done that girl! Pauline (Lauren's mum)
