While In Nairobi, Mark
visited the Magosa School in Kibera.Africa’s largest slum (population 1
Million+). 80% of the over 500 pupils
are orphans and the remainder from
severely destitute families. Most are HIV orphans. Mark and his Foundation
initiated a pen-pal program over a year ago between Magosa and the Shenzhen
Welfare Centre, and Mark and Foundation Director Chloe Liu delivered holiday
greeting cards designed and written by the kids in Shenzhen. The Magosa
children will reply to them as well as send cards for members of the Hong Kong
community, building artistic ties between China, Hong Kong and Kenya. Mark
invited Jayna Shah, Executive Director of Lions Kenya to join. Jayna
presented food and toys to the kids. Mark also made a small donation on behalf
of the Foundation to the nascent Magosa Arts program.
