MANNINGS HEATH resident Robert Davies, who is managing director of Seaford and Sevenoaks Hearing Centres, has just completed his third visit to a school for the deaf in a remote area of Kenya.

In his suitcase was an array of much needed equipment – hearing aids, diagnostic equipment, teaching aids, batteries and a laptop computer – which brings the value of donations to the school taken by Robert to more than £100,000.

With him on the trip was Matt Cannon, his business partner at Sevenoaks Hearing Centre.

Together they braved a ten-hour flight and a lengthy drive over near impassable roads during the country's rainy season to the Reverend Muhoro School for the Deaf on the slopes of Mount Kenya.

The school was started in 1993 with just ten deaf boys. It now has a roll of 106 boys and 95 girls aged 16 to 22, with plans underway for further expansion.
