Yesterday, our family came together for a joyful evening to celebrate all our October-born loved ones! The gathering was filled with laughter, love, and appreciation for each celebrant’s unique spirit. From heartfelt toasts to shared memories, the night reminded us how special it is to honor one another and the beautiful bond we share. Happy birthday once again to all our October stars!

A few years ago, a longtime family friend from Germany introduced the art of foot reflexology to our Nice View family. Our caregivers at the time were immediately enthusiastic and eager to learn this soothing technique. Since then, it has become a cherished part of our daily routine – even our older children practice it and help new team members get started.

For five of the Nice View children, this year was a big one. Final exams were coming up.

For two of them, Junior School (Grade 9), which they attended in Nice View, came to an end. Afterwards, they will either go to a Senior School (Grades 10-12) outside of Nice View or begin vocational training.

Dr. Jana Huttenlau and the MKK mit Herz team later visited us at the children's village.

The topic was:

Oral health, nutrition, and the importance of dental care, including cleaning with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Dr. Jana Huttenlau (dentist) visited us this year with the team from the MKK mit Herz organization and with the support of Dentists for Africa.

All the Nice View children were examined and treated as needed. Our staff and other patients from Msambweni and the surrounding area were also treated. Fillings were done and teeth were cleaned. Some teeth also had to be extracted. The treatments took place at the Nice View Medical Center.

Learners from Nice View Gratitude Academy marked Mazingira Day with great enthusiasm by planting trees, collecting litter, and raising awareness on environmental care.

Due to climate change, the "makuti roofs" need to be replaced more and more frequently. Roof repairs were urgently needed, and with the support of RTL - Wir helfen Kindern (RTL - We Help Children) in the amount of €5,000, we started the renovation and conversion into a parents'/family home.

The learners of the Nice View Gratitude Academy rolled up their sleeves, filled the bags, and left the beach sparkling clean!

Since all students, teachers, and staff at the children's village receive lunch every day, 35 kg of rice is cooked on a wood-burning stove on school days when rice is on the menu.

Every Monday and Friday, the school day begins with an assembly. Since physical education is also on the schedule on these days, students wear sports clothes instead of school uniforms.
