Jacaranda Special School Nairobi

While in Kenya we made a visit to the Jacaranda Special School in Nairobi.  I gave them a present of a hand made Bodhran, which was kindly donated by Michael Vignoles from Galway, and they had great fun with it

We took part in a sports day and played volley ball races.  It was very tiring for my small legs.

The girls in the school make some lovely jewelry during their workshops

And you never know where you might meet an Antrim supporter:

The school would love to hear from you, so please drop them a note or card at the address below:

Some lions...

Here are some big lions I spotted, how many can you see ?

These two seem to be playing a special game, I wonder what it is ?

Some more friends

Here are some more friends I met, do you know what they are ?

Here they are again walking in a long line with the wildebeest

Sailing away

Sailing on the Indian ocean, in a traditional boat made from the trunk of a mango tree

Look at the beautiful sea, it's so green

Mombassa

More pictures of my weekend trip over the next few days..

Today we arrived in Mombasa, a city on the Indian ocean, here is the view from our hotel:

I went exploring a dark cave, thankfully there were no monsters inside:

Masai Mara

This weekend we went to a very special place to watch the great wildebeest migration

Here is a new friend I met along the way

What animal is this ?

I'm really looking forward to St. Oliver's drama production when I get back. 

What do you think this animal is hiding his head behind the bush ?

Maybe you can draw a picture of this "naughty boy", he was a little bold and always causing trouble

Looking forward to seeing your drawings... keep them coming
