the importance of getting to know the clients; their

StORY BY Jay A lex an d er
Exclusive to Coastal L i fe
For those in search of a home in the midst of the Garden of Eden, it just may just be right under
your nose along Route 6A in Sandwich.
Think we're kidding?
The master bedroom side of the
main house was added on to in the
early 1800’s and then the plant room,
which is temperature-controlled, was
added on to the house in the 1970’s.
Each year multiple plants are spawned
throughout the winter inside the room
before being planted elsewhere on the
property in the spring and summer,
one of many reasons for the abundance
of plants scattered throughout the
property. Swain’s plant collection
includes Clivia, cactuses, grapefruit,
hibiscus, Rhodesia rhododendrons,
elephant ears and many more.
“It never goes below 50 degrees in
here,” said Swain of the plant room.
The plant room makes way to the
300-square-foot living room/music
room, where Allen felt a great majority
of entertaining could take place in the
main house.
“Many old houses don’t have the
kind of room to fit a baby grand piano,
but this space has more than enough,”
said Allen.
With no storage available in the
basement, Swain said she has more
than made due with the nooks and
cranny spots around the old house that
provide for that storage, including a
Cape Cod Cellar upstairs that she said
could easily be converted into a walk-
in closet.
“You can never have enough storage,”
Swain said.
In her kitchen, Swain shows off dozens
of “Best in Show” prizes she has garnered
over the years for her flowers, jams and
pies that she has created off her land.
Right outside the main

or Newport, R.I.-based Flying
Kites creators Justine Axelsson
and Leila de Bruyne, both just 24,
they have already had an impact in just a
few short years.
Don’t let the name “Flying Kites” fool
you. It has nothing to do with seeing
an actual kite fly through the air, but
instead, its about children-surrounded by
hunger and poverty in war-torn regions
in Africa, that are soaring to new heights
through the Flying Kites child care
and school program and the non-profit
groups efforts to improve the lives of the
estimated 100,000 orphaned, homeless,
and abused children in Kenya.
“We chose the name 'Flying Kites'
because we wanted our efforts in Kenya
to speak to the carefree, innocent, and
magical aspects of childhood,” said
Axelsson. “The image of a kite flying
through the air invokes feelings of
freedom and excitement that we believe
every child should have a chance to
experience. This is what we want for our
children in Kenya.”
The idea behind Flying Kites was
spawned in 2004 while both students
were at Salve Regina College in Newport.

Left: Elias This Page: Rahab

Axelsson, a communications major
and de Bruyne, an anthropology
major, along with some other
students teamed up to work on a
research project for a introductory
course in global poverty, but the
project, and the groups findings on
plight of what African children were
up against, changed many of them.
When most college students were
taking the summer to catch some
much needed sleep or party with
friends not seen in many months,
de Bruyne took trip to Africa to see
the conditions for herself, and as
bad as she had thought they would
be, up close they were far worse.
“You wouldn’t believe it if you
saw it yourself. Bad pollution, total
overcrowding, no access to fresh
water, wide-spread disease,” said
Axelsson.
For the next three summers,
the pair would spend more than
a month each summer in Kenya,
planting the seeds of Flying Kites.
Upon graduation, they would
pursue their passion full-time.
Recent studies found that
there are over 2 million orphaned
children in Kenya, and those that
weren’t taken in by grandparents or
aunts and uncles, roam the streets- Above: Leila de Bruyne with two young boys from the site.

Axelsson said the children
living on the streets are trapped in
a cycle of despair and poverty of
which they could never, without
assistance, get out of. They believe
that the only way to break that cycle
was to raise the standard of care in
the country, and that’s exactly what
they have done, establishing Flying
Kites Kinangop Children's Center
which currently occupies just over
nine acres where the children, on-
site staff, and volunteers stay in a
large central house with about 7
bedrooms.
“We expect construction to
begin on the first new family-

month,” said Axelsson.

The Moon Goddess and I started by
sharing an appetizer, the Coconut Shrimp

sauce, which was perfect as a dipping sauce
and added a tart sweetness to the large and
crunchy servings of shrimp.
The Moon Goddess apparently enjoyed

the scallops seared in orange sauce ($17).
A perfect taste combination. The side she
chose, corn on the cob, was buttery tasting
without having to put butter on it.
I picked the Atlantic Salmon Scampi
($18). The large piece of fish, which was
cooked with garlic and lemon and white
wine sauce and served over linguini and sun
dried tomatoes, was delicious but spoiled by
being a lot colder around the edges than in
the center. The same was true of the Moon
Goddess's scallops and spinach side-order.
"Waterfront Grille" redeemed itself with
its desserts. The Moon Goddess's blueberry
pie ($5.50) was a deep dish kind loaded with
blueberries. My rice pudding ($5.50) was
deliciously creamy and featured a pinch of
