GRACE'S FARM, NGONG HILLS

Grace's farm is about an hour from Ngong in the Rift Valley, which is known for its scenery and the Maasai people who live there. She moved from the city to the middle of nowhere so the students she cares for wouldn't have so many distractions (i.e. she runs a tight ship). Her neighbors are....
GIRAFFES! I was so excited to see some wildlife in the wild. We've seen some distant zebras and antelope a few times from the roadside, but these giraffes were pretty close. "Only in Kenya!"

One of Grace's students, Anne. She is an orphan and is working towards her degree in Social Work. Grace has been raising her and her siblings since there were young, sending them through primary and secondary school... and now college. GUW sponsors some of the children.
