There is a growing group of hyper enthusiasts that are involved with the Foundation programmes and have been out to Kenya on a volunteer trip. Every one of these volunteers has had the joy of being welcomed and received by Programme Director Jenny Duck. One thing every single person will say when you ask them what the 3 best things to their trip was is ‘Jenny’.

This woman is an absolute star who not only drives the success for the programmes she is responsible for but who also makes sure that everyone that comes out has a unique and life enriching experience. It is hard to describe the difference that she makes but I reckon it has something to do with her enormous warmth, the brilliant relationships she has with all the children and everyone involved in the programmes in Kenya and her fluency in Swahili giving volunteers the opportunity to get a lot closer to everyone. Then again her choice in Ethiopian food does spoil it a bit, but a few bottles of wine and some good chats at night make you forgive her for that :0)

It has become tradition that each time when she is over in Scotland we all meet up and it probably says everything that even if the drinks are on a Monday night everyone will make the effort to come out to enjoy some drinks and the mad menu in the Butterfly and the Pig.
