Tamu, tamu!
(Delicious!)
- the children shouted, holding their plastic mugs, from which they were sipping their daily semolina pudding (that is, water-based semolina-pudding, for want of milk). This was how I knew: it was one of those rare days when a bit of sugar had chanced to get into the food. Out there in Bura, it was very easy to make the children’s day.
Taita Foundation
Our foundation has been supporting the Saint Joseph’s Orphanage in Bura, Kenya, since 2006. We coordinate the children’s education as well as guide them along the road of becoming an adult. As a local saying has it,

We also believe in this because during the time we spent in Kenya, we realized that although we can’t change the whole world, we can help the people with whom we live for a period of time.
Our Orphanage

10 days of happiness in Bura
I have found the TAITA Foundation while preparing for a trip to Kenya in 2017. During that trip I met the children on a short one-day visit to the orphanage, but they have captured my heart forever. Since then, I joined TAITA and have been contributing to their work in Hungary as a volunteer and have been following the life of the orphanage. In… Tovább

Mit tehet egy gyógytornász hallgató Afrikában...? Szerintem sok mindent.
Nagy Mónika Natasa vagyok, 20 éves budapesti egyetemista. Már a gimnáziumi éveim alatt elterveztem, hogy mindenképpen ki fogok menni Afrikába, hogy ott segíthessek a rászorulókon.
Az általam választott szakirány egy segítő hivatás, hiszen gyógytornász hallgató vagyok, így a gyerekek mozgásának fejlesztésében, esetleges mozgásszervi… Tovább
