Martha’s volunteer trip to Nakuru

Earlier this month, Martha, the granddaughter of WBro Mervyn Wass, embarked on a volunteer teaching trip to Nakuru, Kenya, made possible in part by the generous support of Hastings Lodge.

Despite a challenging start spending two days confined to her hotel due to serious civil unrest over fuel prices, Martha threw herself into her work, helping local schoolchildren with their reading and maths.

The trip took on a particularly special note on 20th May, Martha's 20th birthday, when the children gathered around her and sang happy birthday.

The smiling faces in these photos speak for themselves, and WBro Mervyn has asked us to pass on that the Lodge's contribution will never be forgotten.
