DISTRICT 8 CHAIRMAN 2022-23 - Hilary Farrell


Dear Friends,


 

Inner Wheel District 8 in December


Having just arrived back from Kenya, it was quite a shock to find winter had set in with cold winds and frost! I have been volunteering at an orphanage in Kenya with four other ladies.  Saidia Children’s Home caters for 60 children from birth to 18 years and I have spent an enjoyable time playing with the children, teaching them songs and games and helping them to produce Christmas cards and bead bracelets. We all had fun on our trip out to a lake for a picnic and hiring bicycles. It was very satisfying to see the children well fed, happy and enjoying learning, the home was like one big family.   I did also manage a few days holiday on a tropical beach too!

Now 2023 will be upon us, so I wish you a Peaceful New Year.  We celebrate Inner Wheel Day on 10th January and I know that many Clubs share activities on that day.  How nice to be able to get together and enjoy the friendship of Inner Wheel.
