📢Update from Mr Pittam – Kenya Expedition📢
What an incredible and impactful week in Tsavo for Mr Pittam and the team! 🌍
The final community projects included helping to construct an elephant deterrence fence using metal and wire to reduce human-wildlife conflict and protect local crop fields. The team also supported the health of local livestock by administering deworming medication to 161 goats, helping herders maintain healthy herds that can breed successfully and produce more milk for their communities.
The rest of the week and weekend was spent exploring the stunning Tsavo landscape, taking part in wildlife monitoring activities and enjoying an unforgettable safari experience.
A huge well done to everyone involved for their hard work, commitment, and positive impact on the local community🐘🐐🌿 ... See MoreSee Less

📢 Update from Mr Pittam – Kenya Expedition 📢
All is still going really well here in Kenya, and I wanted to share another update from our second camp.
This week, the team has really thrown themselves into community project work. On Monday and Tuesday, we spent two full days plastering a new house for a local family of nine. The house is a two-room brick building that will replace their traditional one-room mud and stick Maasai hut.
This construction project has been supported by camp teams over the past summer and this year, with each team contributing to a different stage of the build. Once completed, the new home will provide the family with a secure, weatherproof dwelling, as well as access to electricity and clean water.
Our team worked incredibly hard and managed to complete the plastering of all the interior walls in just two days. In fact, they were so efficient that we still had time to make mud bricks for a secure chicken coop as well!
I am incredibly proud of the effort, teamwork and positive attitude shown by everyone involved. It's been wonderful to see the difference these projects are making in the local community 👷🧱 ... See MoreSee Less
