Yumna Martin recently went on a trip to Kenya to take part in some voluntary work with Christian Aid's partner organisation Maji na Ufanisi. She took with her a pair of Lithium GTX boots which proved to be a most useful piece of kit.
Yumna sent us a piece about her travels and how she got on during her two week trip.  

"Everyone was laughing at me at the airport, but once we had to climb all those hills in Kenya, I was the envy of everyone with their flip flops and sandals.

I've attached some pics, one of me on the mountain we climbed called Nzambani Rock.

The picture below was taken when we visited an HIV/AIDS support group. They showed us an alternative means to farming which provided them with a sustainable income. In the photo I am shredding leaves to make string with the plant fibre.

I've learned so much about the Kenyan way of life and the warmth and fighting spirit of Kenyan's, I'm off to the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference and after seeing the impact that the drought and climate change has had on the Kenya way of life, whose main source of income is farming, I'm very excited to shout for those who haven't got the means to be heard!"
