Kenyan Fact
Over the past thirty-five years Kenyans have established themselves as the world's premier distance runners. Since 1968, Kenya has collected 38 (through 2003) Olympic medals at distances between 800 and 10,000 meters, far more than any other country.

What we are about
- Kenya Help?
- Mark & Carol's Mission.... Southwestern Kenya is a region that has been decimated by the prolonged effects of poverty, and HIV epidemic and recent inter-ethnic political violence ... The ongoing focus is the sustainable development of medical facilities and services, and contributing to the establishment of water infrastructure for the people in these extremely poor communities. We are raising funds that will be used to deliver these much needed projects : we will personally be involved in the distribution of all funds. It is our intention to work in partnership with local communities, to ensure that their ownership through joint commitment results in the sustainability of these projects. M&Cxx

Community Spirit
These are the great kids from the local school who helped carry 1000's of bricks from where the truck dumped them as it couldn't get any further down the road. The roads are in such bad repair.
They all got a soft drink as a 'thank you' it was a great day for community spirit and co-operation.

Cadbury Chocolate Fundraiser
Hi All,
We are raising funds to use in Kenya, buying or selling fantastic Cadbury Chocolate Frogs, Caramello Bears, Cherry Ripes and Picinics. Most of our friends are selling boxes for us.
We are hoping to sell 50 boxes !!!
This will raise $1200 Australian Dollars which is approx. 63,500 kenyan shillings (the average wage in the country is 150KS per day, if they can get work.... so this will help a LOT.
We will post our adventures on our Blog so you can see exactly where the funds are being spent and how much we can achieve.
