“Dreams don’t have deadlines🤗.” One of o “Dreams don’t have deadlines🤗.”

One of our young dancers from Korando shares their heart in this video—what this opportunity means, how far they’ve come, and why your support matters now more than ever.🙏

Originally set for May, we’ve now moved the travel dates to November 3rd to December 19th, 2025. This gives us more time to secure travel documents and continue rallying the support needed to get all 16 children to Austria.🇦🇹

We’ve come so far—but we’re not there yet 💝

Help us reach the finish line.

Every contribution brings these kids one step closer to dancing on that stage.

Riding Through Kisumu🤗The Local Way Volunteeri Riding Through Kisumu🤗The Local Way

Volunteering with us goes beyond service ✨ it’s also about immersing yourself in the rhythm of daily local life. 🛺 🏍️One of the most authentic ways to do that? Hopping into a tuktuk or catching a pikipiki for town service. 💨

From breezy tuktuk rides to adventurous boda boda (motorcycle) trips, these everyday moments become lasting memories 🧡offering a deeper connection to the people and places that make this region so special.

These local experiences open up unique moments of connection, perspective, and discovery 😉 reminding us that impact is found not only in what we do, but in how deeply we choose to engage. ✨

Because sometimes, the journey itself becomes part of the transformation. 🌍

Cheers to Friday! Time to slow down, smile, and so Cheers to Friday! Time to slow down, smile, and soak in the little joys.
☀️✨ Take a breath, you’ve earned it!
Regularly in the evenings, our volunteers join the Regularly in the evenings, our volunteers join the children of Korando for guided nature walks ✨ an experience that blends gentle movement with meaningful connection. 🌿🤝

These walks provide a quiet space for reflection, storytelling, and environmental learning, allowing children to connect with both the natural world and the people who support their growth. 🌅

Such moments, though simple, play a powerful role in nurturing emotional well-being, encouraging curiosity, and reinforcing the sense of belonging within the Korando community. ✨

We remain deeply grateful to our volunteers for walking this journey🌟both literally and figuratively with our children.

This week, we had the opportunity to engage with t This week, we had the opportunity to engage with the Environmental Club at St. Teresa Girls, where we introduced key concepts in smart agriculture,an innovative approach that integrates technology and sustainable practices to enhance productivity and resilience in farming.

As climate change continues to challenge traditional agricultural systems, it is essential to invest in the capacity of young people 🙂 particularly young women to lead the transition toward more adaptive and sustainable food systems. 🌱⚙️

We commend the students for their enthusiasm, critical thinking, and commitment to becoming future stewards of sustainable agriculture. ✨ Together, we are cultivating a generation that is not only informed but empowered to shape a more food-secure future. 🌍

On Friday, we had the pleasure of joining our part On Friday, we had the pleasure of joining our partner organization, @jijengeyouth , for an inspiring hike experience. It was not only a great opportunity to connect with nature, but also to strengthen our partnership and reflect on the shared goals we are working towards. The day was filled with meaningful conversations, laughter, and renewed energy to continue making a positive impact together.
