Students from Fairgreen International School Share their Experiences
From Sustainable Foundations to Global Citizenship
The Seeds2Education trip, a programme conceived by social entrepreneur Matthew Benjamin and delivered by Kapes Adventures, brought together 15 students from Fairgreen International School and was rooted in the philosophy of Ubuntu, meaning “I am because we are.” Based at an eco-lodge on the outskirts of Nairobi, students witnessed first-hand how a once barren landscape has been transformed into a thriving sanctuary through purpose, community, and resilience. Conservation and Circular Economies The itinerary balanced environmental stewardship with social enterprise. At the Nairobi National Park the group explored the delicate balance of Kenyan wildlife visiting a sanctuary dedicated to the rehabilitation of orphaned rhinos and elephants. London, a student ambassador who traveled to Kenya with Kapes, personal comment on the moving experience he witnessed.
By moving beyond the traditional borders of the school environment the trip provided a unique platform to witness how purpose and resilience can transform communities. Through a strategic partnership centered on sustainability and social equity the mission set out to prove that the most enduring lessons are those written in the soil and shared through collective effort.
