Postcards received in Kenya

A few weeks ago I posted a blog about a postcard project for the children at the Galilee school in the slums of Nairobi. My request was if you could send these kids a nice postcard (or several) to put a smile on their faces!

I asked you to pick a nice card suitable for young children teaching them something about animals or your country and culture and many of you have. At least 150 postcards have been sent to the kids so far! Amazing!!

A bunch of animal cards for the kids at Galilee

The cards will be used during assembly before school, in class or will be given to an individual child. Afterwards they can be used to decorate those empty classroomwalls.

Today I received the first photos of some of the children with the first received cards! I want to share them will you right away...

There are so many more children at Galilee that would LOVE to receive some mail too! You can send one postcard 'naked' or several in one envelope, making even more children happy!!

The address is:
Galilee Primary School
P.O. Box 70014-00400
Tom Mboya Street
Nairobi, Kenya


Several people have asked me about the need of other items at Galilee. The school is always in need of books and schoolsupplies for the children. Sending these items is very much appreciated. If you plan to send such items please contact me or the school first as there is another address for parcels.
Via the online shop you can also purchase some much needed items for the children. You can pay for the items using Paypal and the money will then be transfered to Kenya. In Kenya the items will be bought, stimulating the local economy!
