Training kit for football

I used the previous loan amount to purchase extra tents for the scouting team.
The scouters were so happy to receive the above as it was of such big help to them during the just concluded County Competitions. Despite the heavy rainfall and challenging weather condition, they put in all their efforts and were able to proceed to the Clusters.
We are planning on going for a hiking camp so that they can have a chance to visit the graveside of the founder of scouting.
Thank you so much for your continued and unending support.
God bless you

Business products

Hello,that's my grandson and I at the biggest dump site in Nairobi Kenya. We collected glass bottles, crushed them,and packed them in sacks.

I would also afford to hire more people to help in crushing process.
Meanwhile its my daughter, her son and I WHO handled the job and we did not do much.
