Birthday Celebrations!

Happy birthday to Fadhili and Anna, a recent volunteer to Malaika. Anna has now unfortunately returned to Italy but everyone at Maliaka would like to thank her for all the care and support she offered. The children had a wonderful time learning circus skills and doing all the exercises with Anna and the teacher that she brought to Malaika. Thank you Anna!

Home Visit to Siaeli

Recently, Francesca and Winnie went to visit Siaeli at her school. Last year, Siaeli returned home to her family and is doing extremely well. She has lots of friends at school, is doing well with her studies and is happy as always!

The walls are up!

The construction of the store is coming along very quickly and everyone is getting very excited for its completion. Once again huge thanks to Mr Deepa Hans and Laura and Paul Commins for all their support.

Ratatouille-licious!

Big thanks to Annika, a volunteer who recently came from Germany to help at Malaika. Annika was a wonderful help with the house activities and even taught the housemothers how to cook a German dish - Ratatouille. It was absolutely delicious and all the children and staff loved it - thank you Annika!

Construction work commences

The first phase of the building work for the store has begun! We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Deepa Hans and Laura and Paul Cummins for all their support and help with co-ordinating the project - your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Happy Birthday Paulo and Lisa

There have been lots of celebrations at Malaika recently which has meant more chocolate cake for the children! We wish Paulo a happy 9th birthday and lisa a wonderful 7th birthday!

Safari and swimming!

During the Easter holidays the children thoroughly enjoyed a trip to Arusha national park where they got to see lots of giraffes. Thanks to Rosanna, one of our volunteer's from Italy, the children were also able to improve their swimming abilities during lessons at the pool. Thank you Rosanna for spending so much time with us and for making us smile :)
