giving back
The Narlai Sea Sacs are my way of giving back and celebrating indigenous cultures, from which I gain so much knowledge.
In memory of my late brother Seba and father Puti, my family and I have decided to build a community school in the tiny village of Wamba (Northern Kenya).
Our mission is to transform impoverished children into educated students by giving them a “fair start” in education in order to transition successfully to succeed in academic subjects in the Kenyan school curriculum in government schools.
ā
After graduating, our students need an extra push to be able to attend government Primary School: a small bursary of £38 GBP will allow them to buy the school books, uniform, entry fee. Without these they will not be accepted in and will loose a year.
ā
The important thing is to believe in people's goodness, in honesty, in goals and living life striving to achieve them. We may still believe in the value of life, that everything isn't caos, wickedness and despair. It is this certainty that supports me and gives me serenity.
