Thursday, 27 November 2014. So You Want to Teach in Kenya Pt III - Why don't you just pay for it yourself? So here's the post for those of you who have thought this, but were too scared to ask. Look, we're totally cool with people thinking this. Why crowd fund when you can work hard and save the money to go over there? How did this trip even come about? Approach University of Melbourne teacher candidates about their project. The biggest challenges lie ahead. In response to someone suggesting that by ...

Peppery Sparrow.: December 2014
http://pepperysparrow.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 December 2014. A final, and very important, thankyou. So what a journey and we haven't even left for Kenya yet! We have also seen that it is those that have less that often give more. When you receive an email to notify you of a contribution from someone you know has their own big expenses such as children and medical bills, or lives off a single income, it is a very grounding experience. Again, you guys know who you are, and we cannot express how eternally grateful we are. Links to this post.

Wednesday, 3 December 2014. So You Want to Teach in Kenya Pt V - Let's get real and talk dollars. Students at Mama Children's Orphanage. Given we've dropped over a cool $1500 on vaccinations in the last 7 days, I thought it would be timely for our contributors, and potential contributors, to see exactly where there hard earned dollars are being spent. Visas - $110 plus $30 in secure postage for our passports. Accommodation and food for 6 weeks - $3900. Total so far - $9940. Crowd-funding target - $6500.

Sunday, 30 November 2014. So You Want to Teach in Kenya Pt IV - World Aids Day 2014. I drove past this impressive installation in the city last night, realising that for the first time on the 3rd of January when we arrive at the orphanage will I knowingly work with someone who is HIV positive. Not just one someone, many someones, all of which are under the age of 18. So what has this got to do with teaching in Busia, Kenya? Kenya has the fourth-largest HIV epidemic in the world. There are 1.1 mil...My co...
