The word sweet sixteen originated from the number of girls in the Kenia School of Homeopathy. We are sixteen girls in the centre and we are the most privileged to be the pioneers of homeopathy in our country Kenya as an institution.
The sweet sixteen came from schools which fall under the Verkaart Development Team through Beasy, the Verkaart co-ordinator in Kenya. She connected us to Marie, who is now our beloved director at the 4kenia Foundation. The environment at the Kenia School of Homeopathy is conducive in terms of learning as we have a well ventilated class room, spacious rooms (dormitory) and a library.
Apart from learning, we came up with the sweet sixteen project which will enable us to achieve our goals. In this project we do various activities such as drawing and painting (art work), knitting, jewelry, weaving, pottery, composing poems and songs and some other decorations of clothes.

Dear Sweet Sixteens, I am as delighted as you are that the Verkaart Foundation set benevolent eyes on your community in Kwale, being one of the poorest districts in the Kenya. Everything looks great at the clinic. I love the pictures and you are all doing a great job with the site. I can’t wait to visit next time I am at the coast. Lots of love.

Jambo girls,
Like Marjolijn I hope to see you all in October.
I am so curious to see how you are doing and how everything in the centre looks and works after a year; how the 16 of you settled in. I already saw on one of the pictures the lovely wallpainting you made in the clinic.
Big hugs to everybody and till October.
Marijke

Jambo Sweet16,
It was so nice to see you in October. I hope you learned a lot of the “training on the job”.
And now you are coming to Europe! First to Austria and then to Holland.
I hope to see you in January in Holland. At the moment it is snowing here, bur I expect you to see more snow in Austria.
Have a nice trip, enjoy it all!
See you,
Big hug,
Marijke
