Alex's Answer

Hi there, you are very welcome to Ask Alex.     

Thank you for asking if we understand Kalenjin. Chamgei! 

It’s important to us that young people have a chance to ask any question to Ask Alex, no matter how big or small. We love to learn about different cultures and traditions, so once a question is asked, we will post it publicly so other young people can read it too.   

While we are service for people living in Ireland, we embrace all the people from different cultures that call Ireland home. Each new culture and lived experience add to the richness of Ireland. While we may not understand every language of a new culture, we are open to learning.

Childline is a service for every young person in Ireland, no matter what their background; however we only use the English language with our phone service and English and Ukrainian on our web chat service.  If you want to call for a chat and tell us about your culture, you are very welcome to chat with the Childline Team by phone on 1800 66 66 66 or through Live Chat on www.childline.ie.  Childline services are free and confidential, and are available 24 hours, 7 days a week.    

Thank you for reaching out to us.  

Take care of yourself, we look forward to hearing from you soon,  

Alex
