To The Kids of TWIGA

This is Baba Mzungu and I can assure all the Children of Twiga that I will be coming out to Kenya ... but just not yet.
As in Kenya, the UK is going through a bad period financially and it is very difficult to raise the money for my trip, but I will do it!
Why? Because, Children of Twiga, we have a lot to do. We are going to start growing vegetables and fruit on the plot. We are going to improve the cottage so that after working on the plot (and no doubt getting very dirty, Edwin, Dennis, Henry, Davis, Aloys), you will be able to have a shower to clean off.
We will be looking at producing electricity, rainwater collection, clean, pure drinking water, warm water for washing, gas for cooking - in fact between us, we are going to improve the plot a lot.
We might even get around to looking at breeding fish to eat, but that maybe for another time - we'll see.
So, Children of Twiga, I will be coming and I will be working hard, with your help.

Oops! Baba Mzungu isn't coming ...

Oh well. It was too good. Everything was in place in the UK for BM to come t o Kenya. He misses seeing his girlfriend on the Coast, and he misses the kids at Twiga. And he misses the warmth of our greetings and the warmth of the climate.

But he has been hit by the cold of the economic climate that is affecting so many countries and has had to postpone his trip for a while.
