PAT'S STILL FUNDRAISING!

Pat's Grenada photo

Pat Baggott went to Kenya in November 2009 - not walking this time - cycling to raise funds for a girl's orphanage - the Ngoingwa orphanage at Thika.

The home rescues orphan girls who are sometimes put out on to the streets AS CHILDREN, and maybe be abused. The girls are given a home life and a family environment to grow up in and taught a skill.
