Back from my 2nd trip to Kenya with the Salesian schools. I won’t be posting on here as most of the schools are refraining from using this platform. Find me on Facebook or Instagram

The children at St Joseph’s RCPS are so proud of what they created for our Art Exhibition and their families enjoyed seeing their art work also #superstars
