On 29th March 2025, the Winsim GFF Club embarked on a mission of love and support to Salama Malaika Children’s Home in Njoro. This visit was more than just a charitable act—it was a powerful reminder of the impact kindness and community involvement can have on young lives.
A Warm Welcome
Our team of 17 volunteers, including club ambassador Kelvin, Egerton manager John Nderitu, and our ever-energetic club mascot, Anita, arrived at 9:00 AM. Before stepping in, we signed the Child Protection Policy form, ensuring the safety and privacy of the children, most of whom are orphans or come from vulnerable families. While individual photos were not allowed, we were thrilled to document moments through group pictures.
A Day Filled with Purpose
The day was packed with engaging and meaningful activities:
-
General Cleaning: Together with the children, we tidied the dormitories, kitchen, and compound, reinforcing the importance of hygiene.
-
Cooking Together: Volunteers assisted in meal preparation, creating an atmosphere of teamwork and bonding.
-
Fun and Games: From football to Scrabble, the energy was infectious as the children engaged in lively activities.
-
GFF Routine Demonstration: Our mascot, Anita, led an engaging session on the Global Fast Fit routine, promoting fitness and wellness among the children.
-
Words of Encouragement: Anthony, a dedicated GFF member, shared an uplifting message on the power of self-improvement using the phrase “Challenge Yourself.”
-
A Special Commitment: Winsim GFF Club pledged to offer free training sessions to the children whenever they needed.
-
Sharing a Meal & Giving Back: We presented food supplies and a KES 5,000 donation to help sustain the home.
A Touching Farewell
As our visit came to an end, the manager of Salama Malaika expressed heartfelt gratitude, thanking us for choosing to support the home. The most touching moment came when the children surprised us with a handmade thank-you card, signed by each of them—a simple yet profound expression of their appreciation.
A Community of Support
This impactful visit wouldn’t have been possible without the generous contributions from our community. Special thanks to John Groom, Abby, and James for their donations, which greatly contributed to the success of this event. Sharing is indeed caring!
Looking Forward
This visit reinforced our commitment to supporting these children beyond a one-time event. With plans for continued mentorship, training, and financial aid, Winsim GFF Club remains dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of these young souls.
Every child deserves love, care, and the opportunity to dream big. Let’s keep making a difference, one visit at a time!
