Study Tour to Kenya 2015
Christmas party in Nairobi
for poor children living in the slums
The year began with what has now become a tradition – The St. Knut’s Day (Tjugondag Knut) in Nairobi. 270 orphans and poor children from Dandora and areas around Nairobi were invited – 350 came! In Sweden Tjugondag Knut celebrates the end of Christmas and the Christmas Tree is thrown out with happiness and fun. It’s a tradition to have the party at YMCA. The staff is part of the preparation and work hard to give the children a wonderful day. The children long for this day all year and bring friends. The number of children increase every year!
The party is the start of the yearly study-tour. Elementary school teachers from Farsta joined this year and brought hundreds of presents to the party collected by pupils at the two schools – Hästhagsskolan and Kvickenstorpsskolan.
Thank you all for your support!
