The Thorntree Project

It was so lovely to receive an update from The Thorn Tree Project in Kenya this week.    "Hello Clonakilty school students, I am writing to update you about your pre-school. This year, the school has had 18 students, of which 8 are boys and 10 are girls. Due to your kind donation, the teacher has been able to teach well and effectively and also maintain the kids in school. The students have received enough stationery and meals to sustain them throughout the day as well as the teacher receiving all the necessary teaching aids and supplies. Your donation has also catered for the teacher’s and cook’s salary. As a result, the teacher expects to take at least 10 students to grade 1 next year. Thank you so much Clonakilty school students for your continued support of Lekiji pre school. The community is very grateful and appreciative of your kind gesture to help their children get quality education. They pass their warm regards and welcome you to Lekiji one of these fine days for some goat meat and Samburu chai."
