Well from being in School on Tuesday of half-term i received a phone call about an emergency with our twin school in Nairobi and they wanted me there urgently. So Veronicah made all of the bookings on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning I was on a BA flight to Jomo Kenyatta International. On Thursday I met with the Trustees and later in the day we appointed a new Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher to the Desai Memorial Primary School. This was key point in the school's history and I have been going to Nairobi for some nine years now as part of a lifetime commitment to 400 of the poorest children each year in the Kawangware slum of western Nairobi.
Whilst in Nairobi I met up with my wife's family and it was great to see everyone. I also met up with Deiter and his delightful partner, Lorna. We had a very pleasant lunch at his flat in Westlands on Saturday. I arrived back at Heathrow at 6am and was in School for 8.30am.
