A month ago, LHSG treated children from Sai Seva School<\/strong> from the Kawangare Slums of Nairobi to an outing in the Karura Forest. These had been trained in Reiki Level 2 a few months ago. One of the activities of the day was how to plant a tree the Spiritual way using Reiki. Please refer to LHSG Kenya 11th<\/sup> Anniversary Seva No 3.<\/p>\n

Following are extracts from a few of the children\u2019s (aged about 12 years) accounts of the fun day. They are pretty representative of most of the children\u2019s thoughts and feelings. Do read on! It is hoped that they will carry the thoughts and experiences of the day with them all their lives and love and respect Mother Earth and all of nature and become responsible world citizens.<\/p>\n
