My name is Rob Noble, I am 73 years of age and have lived in Haslemere for 5 years. I grew up in Muswell Hill, and when I married  in 1976 I moved to Barnet in Hertfordshire.

25 years ago I was invited by a church pastor who was visiting England to stay with him and his family in North Kinangop. It was a wonderful experience staying in a mud hut and I noticed the people were very poor, but happy.
2 days into my stay I was taken by members of the local church on a journey to Naivasha to feed the street children. Within minutes the horror of the situation came to light. The first child we fed was very young and had a vacant look in his eyes. He took the food and the way he ate, it became obvious he had not eaten for a while. It was the same when we saw groups of children who formed an orderly queue and were polite, always thanking us for the food.

I spoke to a lady who had bought a plot of land for a Children’s home nearby. She needed funding for dormitories for the children. I felt so moved by what I had seen, and with the help of my church in Barnet Hertfordshire, we raised enough money to pay for more dormitories which were completed in weeks. I have continued supporting the home ever since with many different fundraising activities. Over the last 2 years I have used images donated by talented photographers and turned them into canvas prints and greetings cards. These have gone down well and raised money for the home. A successful exhibition was held at Haslemere Museum during the month of March 2018.  New to our range is The Noah's Ark Print and Christmas cards
