A big THANK YOU goes out to all who attended our first wine tasting event at Crush Wine on October 25th. We raised nearly enough money to pay for a year’s salary for one of the three teachers in the kindergarten in Maboromokoni, Kenya. Thanks to you, with the next event we will surely go above and beyond the support we will be able to offer the school.

About the school: in recognition of the importance of education as a mean of facing life difficulties, it was decided to fully finance the construction of a nursery school for 150 children in Mamboromokoni, Malindi, in Kenya, in association with the ‘Greek Committee for Education of Kenyan Youth’ active locally. Full construction of the three-class nursery was finalised in January 2009 and the school will been inaugurated in April 2009.
