Service Above Self at Thika Cemetery


This was the grave of James Smith who had a farm in Makuyu, Kenya. His grand-daughter a Rotarian had recently contacted The Rotary Club of Thika to not only help trace the grave but to also take her to a farm that was owned by her father during the colonial days.
In the true spirit of Service Above Self, the Rotary Club of Thika members joined Smith’s Grand-Daughter Rtn Sharon Daishe to Makuyu and also helped her to trace the Cemetery. Recently, the members returned and fixed the broken tombstone and now want to rehabilitate the entire Thika Cemetery as part of the town's unique history.

In the picture are Members of Thika Rotary Club with Daishe (SECOND RIGHT) after the grave was rehabilitated.


Here is the Tombstone before it was repaired.
