Year 6 Visit Karebe Gold Mine!
Year 6 Visit Karebe Gold Mine!
The Year 6 trip this year was to the Karebe Gold Mine up in the Nandi Hills. The trip started with a wonderful stop at the Brook’s farm in Koru, where the children were treated to sodas, biscuits, and an idyllic garden to play in.
After their snacks and drinks, the children enjoyed a tour of the farm to see the animals, including cows and lots and lots of pigs, followed by a picnic and a cooling dip in the dam!
The onward journey continued, and later that day, Laura and Jeremy Froome welcomed us to their beautiful site in Kisumu, letting us set up our Pembroke tented camp close to a dam for swimming and fishing and, most importantly, with access to a cosy clubhouse (which would come in very handy once the rain came down!).
The children spent a fabulous couple of days learning all about the process of mining and processing gold and the important work the mine does to support the local community and protect the environment. All the children agreed that they were very lucky to have been allowed into a real gold mine, and Indie was especially pleased to have been able to blow part of it up!
