Seems a little selfish to move 3 young children away from all their friends and schools etc. for 6 months in Africa. That was my first thought

I know two families that have spent extended periods overseas (a year each) working on a hospital building project in Rwanda. In both cases, the children were fine: they easily made new friends in Africa and were able to keep in touch with their friends at home via the internet. The older children talk about it as a life-changing experience, and the younger ones were still at an age where they just went with the flow of things and got on with it. In terms of education, they'll probably learn a lot more from six months in Kenya than they would in their schools at home.
