Our First Team

In May 2011, a group of 16 passionate SMU students headed out on a month-long trip to Marimba (near the town of Meru), where Our Lady of Grace Children's Home is located.

During their stay, the team constructed an IT lab with ten laptops, as well as a library too. The team also refurbished the primary school by making and putting up noticeboards, on top of building tables and chairs for the nursery classes. Last but not least, they taught the girls basic English and IT literacy, as well as music and dance.

Many close bonds were fostered, both within the team and with the girls, and it was truly an eye-opening experience for all.
