Today, Wednesday March 19th The Combe Pafford team left Imprezza and began a 10 hour bus trip to the Masai Mara Reserve. Mike Lock, the teams leader said,

“Our stay at Imprezza has left us with many happy, lasting memories. We were met with a warm welcome, friendship and kindness every minute we were there. We recognized the great sense of purpose of the work of the school which came across when we met and interviewed some of the students. We all feel a sense of having helped in a small way, not only because we repainted some classrooms and offices – they do look very smart now, but also because they wanted us to know that they really appreciated our visit and hope we can do so again next year and hopefully annually in future.”
