The lovely lady (to the left) who supplies us with food every day at the TEFAF fair isn’t who she seems to be. She’s not just the food supplier, she’s actually a charity. Well, it’s not just her, but she’s the general director of the Upendo Children’s Centre in Nyeri, Kenya.

The Upendo Children’s Centre is an orphanage for abandoned and orphaned children and also mentally challenged children ages 7 months through 12 years old in Nyeri, Kenya.

More information about the Upendo Centre can be found on their own website. So you are now going to bookmark that website and maybe you are also going to volunteer for them or make a donation, but for that you’ll have to contact one of the board members (Tessa for example), because I couldn’t find a donation link anywhere on the site, just some bank account information.

And last but not least, Tessa also has a website of her own with a blog, a photoalbum and a link to the Upendo Children’s Centre ofcourse. Unfortunatly for my non-Dutch speaker/reading readers, Tessa’s blog is in Dutch only, so you won’t be able to read it, but you can go and take a look anyway.
