An eighth group of Companions joined a group of Sixth Formers from St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, working in the Kibera Slum, Nairobi, in February. A day was spent doing the laundry and helping feed the patients at the Mother Teresa Home in Langata and we also visited the HQ of Malteser International, as well as one of their clinics, the JJJ in Kibera, and worked in three schools. We managed two days in the Nyumbani orphanage where the dancing and singing of the children at Mass were a delight. We were welcomed by Martin Schoemburg, director of the Naitobi office of Malteser, and visited three other charities we have been supporting, the Womens' Health Group started by Dame Alice Murphy, the Foundation of Hope and the Mirror of Hope.
