With deep sadness, we announce the death of Mark San
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Mark San on the 4th July 2017.
He was chairman of the trustees until he resigned due to ill health in 2012. Mark's warmth, spiritual insight and guidance helped plan the initial concept for child care in Kenya and he used the same qualities to assist Nancy and Jonathan with the formation of the Nasio Trust.

The Musungu (white man) returns
In the early morning light I spot a group of women having a gossip at the water well surrounded by yellow 10 gallon drums for the days water to be transported home. A kid chewing on a stick of sugar cane, fallen from the sugar cane truck which thunders by. He smiles and waves as we pass.
Maybe it is fatigue or the thought of returning home. Either way I find myself bouncing along unmade roads on my way to the airport with a lump in my throat and tears running down my face.

We head off with Jethro, our driver, who is a real character, – he welcomes us every morning with his ‘Good morning to you’ song.
