A GROUP of Isle of Wight students travelled all the way to Kenya to to undertake social action work.

Pupils at Cowes Enterprise College made the trip to take part in humanitarian projects with the Camps International Group.

This included building projects at a primary school, animal care for a herd of 113 goats, and completing a PADI open water diving course.

Time was found for exploration and relaxation, and students enjoyed time at Diani Beach, and even took part in a safari where they spotted elephants, lions and a leopard.

The Camps Foundation is dedicated to helping volunteers take part in projects that help communities across the world. 

Cowes Enterprise College principal, Rachel Kitley, said: “This is such a brilliant opportunity for our students to not only play their part in such important humanitarian work but also to visit Kenya.
