Welcome to the Advocates' Kenya Tour website. Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of 22 advocates as we travel to Kenya from the 1st to the 10th of October to see the work of Compassion.

Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children.

We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Kenya and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

Technically challenged...

Well all, having responded to some great emails last night I thought that they would up load to this blog thing...how wrong (should have asked a five year old to show me) Anyway I thought i'd cut & paste my email into the blog & was staggered to see it had worked although it gives no clue who its from... So any way we are Martyn & Heather from Guernsey & will NOT be bringing a laptop, were still learning to drive a mobile phone...one thing at a time...

Loking forward to seeing you all soon, M & H
