Having not been put off by last year’s Royal Parks Foundation’s Half Marathon, James, Network and Office Manager for the Child-to-Child Trust took part in St. Alban’s challenging equivalent on Sunday 14 June.

Child-to-Child Trust goes to Kenya...
The Child-to-Child Trust in partnership with Kenya Aids NGO Consortium (KANCO) held an international training course on ‘Child-centred approaches to HIV/AIDs’ in Nairobi at the beginning of February. The course was fully subscribed with participants travelling from as far as Japan to attend the training. Participants learnt about the Child-to-Child methodologies and how they could be used in HIV/AIDS programming to empower children and young people to bring change to their communities.
The course was a huge success, not only did the participants expand their theoretical knowledge of Child-to-Child and HIV/AIDS they also had the opportunity to put their learning into practice when they visited a primary school in Nairobi. Click here for more information.
