In April 2012, our team engaged with the children and staff at Elma Barnett Children's Centre (EBCCK) to assess educational needs and support the welfare of both children and over-18 individuals. We interacted through tutoring and teaching, distributed resources, and met with the Kenyan board to understand their concerns and plans. Highlights included hands-on learning experiences, cultural events like Easter Dinner, and proactive community outreach, such as providing educational materials and assisting local families in need.
