ADVENTUROUS Felpham students are digging out their passports and packing their bags for a ten day charity mission.
The four sixth-formers, from Felpham Community College, will be making their way to Kenya as part of an 18-strong party organised by Bognor Vineyard Church.
But they will not have much time for sightseeing: the group have a packed itinerary which includes helping to build a girls’ orphanage.
Megan van Driel, who will be joined by classmates Anna Sherwood, Luke Sherwood and Sarah Lavery, said: “We will be staying in Nakuru, a small town about 100 miles from the capital Nairobi.
“It is a busy schedule which includes helping out in churches and a local school. We will also be getting our hands dirty helping with the construction of a new girls’ orphanage.”
Rain Edge, which was established in 2005, works to empower local communities in Kenya. It has already funded construction of a boys’ orphanage as well as a number of food and water projects. All the staff and pupils at the college wished the intrepid four every success with their adventure.
To sponsor the students contact the school on 01243 826511.
