Many thanks to all those who contributed so generously to the collection for the Kenya Schools Project held at the Grotto and elsewhere in the town on Saturday 5th May. A very good sum was raised to contribute to the work of the overcrowded MaweniPrimary School in the slums of Mombasa, and to sending a local volunteer to work there this summer. Thank you again.
