Photos from St.Andrews School. A new class and teacher added… can’t wait to have a go on the swings!

The official opening of St Andrews School Oloolua Ngong took place on 15th Feb 2009. 44 officers, boys and family made the trip (and what a trip!) to Kenya.

BB Capers was a great success fun, laughter and of course money for good causes over 1,500 pounds! Project Stedfast will benefit from this – thank you for coming along, sending your boy along, cleaning the white shirts and of course to the cast and crew for staging the show… you know who you are!

At the show an update video was shown – you can view it below:

Following a project group visit to the school in Novemeber – we are able to report first hand of the excellent progress with the school. 3 Teachers. over 50 kids. 6 classrooms. Disabled centre nearing completion.
Enjoy the video…

Feb 2008
The foundation and walls are complete. Work was stopped due to the Kenya election troubles as costs of materials and transport rose.



April 2008
The roof goes on



July 2008
Rev Iain visits to review progress and things are going very well!



A small number of officers have a trip planned in November 2008. So expect to see further pictures then.

Back in Feb, while visiting the school we were challenged to a football game from the Boys Brigade companies…

Conditions were difficult for the travelling Scottish Select team – heat, dehydration but mainly lack of any ability and fitness. With Stuart Dalgleish missing due to illness, we had to sub him for saruni – shame we weren’t playing basketball!




In the south of the rift valley is the Suswa Girls Orphanage. The project was introduced to the orphanage by the captain of the Girls Brigade. She is an elder at the church which the school is attached to. Her and her husband Daniel took the group who visited Kenya in Feb 2008. What a visit.

The video below is a chance to see them – they put on some entertainment when we arrived – singing and dancing.
