Final treats!

 Dear parents,

Yesterday was such a full day that we didn't get the chance to post an update. As we are enjoying our last hours of fun in the sea at Forty Thieves, we would like to take the time to go back in time and tell you all about our fantastic last couple of days here.

Thursday was pretty much the reverse of Wednesday as half of us went diving while the other half helped the community. Both groups were extremely busy and made the most of their experience.

Still digging!

Collecting small fingerlins to transfer into a bigger pound

We said goodbye to the Baraka women's group. We truly hope that we have made some kind of a small difference to their lives by reinforcing their pond walls and planting a lot of mangrove trees. It would be nice to return soon to see the continued progress. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly into your community.

The second group got the chance to dive in a little paradise, the Kisite Marine Reserve, thanks to Yatin's skills at convincing the KWS. And it was absolutely beautiful!

A few arches and stacks for Miss H!

Coming back up from our first exhilarating dive

James easily made the 2 dives :-)

The coral structures were unbelievable and the amount of sea creatures we saw was pretty awesome: parrot fish, grouper, puffer fish, angel fish, octopus and turtle for the even luckier ones, it looked as if we were in the middle of tropical aquarium. We are all convinced we want to dive again.


Friday, we stayed around Diani after enjoying our morning chores: dishes and cleaning our rooms. On the programme today: the beach! Cleaning, recycling, fishing techniques, we learnt loads and loads.

We can now ask us to do the dishes at home!

 We loved being on the bus, especially we are allowed to "sing" aloud!

Beach cleaning and a half!

We never failed to give 100% of our energy out!

This is what we collected in one hour

After all this hard work, Camp Kenya treated us to a barbecue on the grounds of the millenarian Congo Mosque. The baobabs provided us with the needed shade.

This was clearly a perfect spot to take a few group pics to take back home.

This is almost the end and we are clearly not wanting to leave. It's wave and camel time now to make the most of our last hours. And the teachers might even treat us to a small dinner as we have been so awesome.

Off we go!

A bit of a royal wave on the camel's back!

Tomorrow, we're on the road again for a good 10-12 hours in order to see you and tell you all about this week. Our heads are full of memories so you'd better be ready!

Enjoy your last quiet evening without us!
