Our man in Nairobi
I was Rob's House Tutor at Cranleigh, and have been in touch with him periodically since. I was of course thrilled when he became Kenya's High Commissioner, and even more so when he offered to visit my favourite school, Ronda Primary, in Nakuru yesterday, 29 January. Our EnKI man in Nakuru, Joseph Halake, wrote:
Mr. Macaire brought and donated ball games equipment. The school community were extremely happy and baffled by the high level visit to their humble environment.
On 29 January OC and British High Commissioner to Kenya, Rob Macaire (1 North, 1978-83), visited Ronda School in Nakuru, Kenya.
The attached photo shows him at the school with Mrs Ruto [head teacher], Joseph Halake [Enki Fund] and 4 pupils two of whom are wearing sports shirts donated by Cranleigh School and delivered to Ronda in October last year as part of a larger consignment of sports clothing and footwear donated by the school and pupils.
Great to see the past links that Cranleigh have with Ronda school continuing and also great to see an OC as High Commissioner to a country where we have so many connections.

Julia Ormond (1&4 South 1983), best known for for films such as Legends Of The Fall and First Knight, picked up the Best Supporting Actress Emmy for her TV movie Temple Grandin
We are sorry to report that Ken Wills, who taught at Cranleigh between 1949 and 1988, died on August 19 after a short illness.
It is with great sadness we have to report that
