Another day on the road and 6 more hours of driving to visit our various projects sustained from our volunteer camp located with Bongkud Village. The drive has been worth it and impressive to see the progress that has been made. We are building a community centre, gravity water feed system, micro enterprise initiative for the single women’s group and have located a beautiful new permanent camp location at the end of our jungle trek.

Apologies for the cheesy Directors shots but gives you a feel for the scale of the community centre build.

Our school expeditions and gap year volunteers have dug this out by hand and laid the foundations for a water tank that will deliver fresh spring water to 20% of the community. Next stage will be to make bricks using the techniques we have developed at Camp Kenya from the mud.

Sometimes its the small projects that have impact and the guys have done a great job with this small Kindergarten.

This was a dilapidated shed….it is now a place for the single Mums to meet, make handicrafts, grow vegetables and develop a small micro enterprise.

Thanks for a great lunch (Camp Manager Eve) and great to see the team again.
