Two members of team KAP have just returned from a visit to Kenya. It was noticeable to see some pupils weren’t dressed in their uniforms; this was because the donated uniforms didn’t fit! There were a couple of girls who have lovely curves and a few boys who are just too tall. One of the girls, named Mercy, said “I do not feel like part of the school without my uniform, I feel different and on special days out, everyone looks so smart but I don’t”.
Kenyan pupils are very proud of their school and always want to represent it because not only do they spend most of their time in school due to their literal 24/7 learning routine, but school becomes a foundation where they can escape the trouble that comes with the outside world they live in.
Team KAP are wondering if you are able to donate any old and dated school uniforms, perhaps you have had a change of uniform or maybe your lost property is overflowing with goods that have been there for a bit too long. Either way, we would really like to hear from you so that these other pupils get the chance to feel like part of their school. Of course, with our website updates and the ability to receive our newsletter, you will get to see exactly where those uniforms have gone and who are in them!
KAP are always on the lookout for suitable donations so perhaps you may have some other goods that you feel may be of suit, either way, please don’t hesitate to contact Polly on bev@kenyaaidprogramme.org.uk or 01892 616729
