Grace writes on her Facebook, "A couple of months ago we did a fundraiser at Healesville High School to help some young friends of mine, Emily & Thomas McKenzie, raise money to build some school classrooms in Kenya. They had the official opening a couple of weeks ago and have started work on the next lot of rooms. These are some photos from the day.

The plan is to raise some more money and get water and electricity connected. If you'd like to make a donation the details are on the link above.....all of the money goes directly to the school and results happen very quickly. GK

This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
