We were very pleased to be able to meet up today and have a chat with Sue Hayward, founder of the Happy House children's home for orphans and needy children in Kenya, and the associated umbrella project Children of Watamu.
The Happy House is celebrating its 2nd birthday with a fund raising event at the Sheraton Hotel in Blackpool on Friday evening and we gave Sue and Blackpool based co-ordinator Libby Gomm some prizes for the raffle and some presenst to take back to Kenya for the children.
Sue sold her home in Blackpool to help set up the children's home in Kenya and lives over there helping to care for the children. She is back on a flying visit to pick up difficulkt to source supplies and attend the party on Friday evening.
You'll be able to hear our fascinating interview with Sue and Libby in our "Best Kept Secrets...In Conversation" radio show on 103.2 Preston FM on Friday evening from 7pm (listen live worldwide via the internet at www.preston.fm) and after broadcast it will be posted on here so that you can listen again on demand.
