22.01.2022 This week’s guest speaker was our very own Valerie Simons, who delighted and inspired us with her journey earlier this year to Niarobi, Africa. Valerie visited St Jude’s and also schools in the slums of Kibera and Mirror of Hope charity school, a school dedicated to supporting the children and community of the Kibera Slum. Meeting her sponsor son Cyril, from Mirror of Hope and sharing a meal with his family was a highlight of Valerie’s trip. Thank you Valerie for showing us how we can all make a difference, and together as Rotarians, that difference can be huge.
