Siloam Community

Thumbs up for the French Trust Insolites Batisseurs .

They have allocated 3000 euros per year for the assistance of the Siloam Orphanage. These funds will be dedicated to purchasing food for the children through the Mwitu Na Watu Charitable Trust. Mwitu Na Watu Charitable Trust is newly founded by Robyn Boyd and Michel Laplace-Toulouse of African Latitude to handle donations for the development of Community Projects such as
Siloam Orphanage and Loisiijo Lodge. on the Shompole Group Ranch

Generous donations arriving from Australia. Retired school teacher but keen gardener Bruce Wilson & his wife Dianne, are very kindly donating funds generated from the sale of vegetables grown in their home garden. In the past they have also sent various goodies to the children.

This months donation of $200 has gone towards the examination fees for 28 children doing their primary school exams and  4 boys from the secondary classes.

On behalf of the children of Siloam and African Latitude, thank you Bruce & Dianne for your hard work in the garden and generosity towards Siloam.

It was the 24th Dec and the Xmas bonus’s for African Latitude staff were piling up on my desk. I realised that signing the cheque for Siloam’s food this month was not enough. We needed to do more. Everyone in the office brought some clothes, books and other goodies to give to the children. On our side we gave them supermarket vouchers worth 150$ so that Esther and Steven could buy the kid’s some special meals for Christmas.

Evans did the delivery, but regretted that we didn’t get the gift vouchers blown up like on TV

Christmas came early indeed for the Siloam’s kids. On the 20th of December, Suzan Tusson and Jim Mc Neil visited Siloam while on safari with African Latitude . They brought a lot of goodies for everyone: balloons, footballs, stationary, books. It included a digital camera for Steven so that he can now record the daily life of the Orphanage.

Oh and most important there was also a digital photo frame.

Thank you very much Suzan and Jim, you have put big smiles on these children’s faces.

African Latitude throughout the year with the assistance of Vincent G has been supplying several hundred kilos of maize and beans to the Orphanage.
This month, as well as in July, Ian and Sharly Cameron owners of the Talisman have provided the cereals.
Thank you Sharly and Ian for your help, on behalf of the Orphans.
