Attended the official launch of charity, CHECK
Enjoyed meeting Geraint Jenkins MBE at the official launch of the charity, C.H.E.C.K. Based in Caterham, 'Community, Health and Education for the Children of Kimilili' aims to give young people in Kenya the chance to complete their education against a backdrop of challenging circumstances, often including the loss of one or both parents.
The drive and commitment of Geraint Jenkins is phenomenal – over the last 30 years he has given an incredible amount to raising the educational standards in Kimilili. Always looking to do more, though, he has taken the next step to make C.H.E.C.K. a registered charity so that it can continue to develop the infrastructure of the schools and support the health programmes in the village. Its launch is a celebration of all the good it's done over the years, but I know this is just the beginning of a new phase of renewed vigour in looking to better the lives of those youngsters out in Kenya.
