Karibu! Malta, a young organisation with the main aim of carrying out various activities throughout the year to raise funds to implement work with the less fortunate will once again go to Kenya between 8 and 27 July to help the less fortunate.

Most of the volunteers had this experience on their bucket list for years and when the application form came out earlier this year, they saw it as the right opportunity to go and help those in need. Last year the volunteers built two classrooms at the Daughters of the Sacred Heart in Ruiru, Kenya and lay tiles in a church close by. They also had the opportunity to spend some time teaching and carrying out fun activities with the children in the area.

"I am sure that this will be an immensely satisfying experience for all the volunteers," said Julian Mamo, managing director at GasanMamo Insurance. "The dedication of their time to help poor children live in a better environment and letting them know that they care about them is priceless. We admire all the volunteers for taking on such a remarkable experience."

Those wishing to make a donation towards this year's initiative can do so by bank transfer on BOV account number 40021597390 or by cheque made payable to Karibu and posted to 1, Lourdes Square, San Gwann.
