Teri Hatcher outside the Waverly Inn restaurant. New York City, USA - 13.05.08

The Desperate Housewives star and daughter Emerson Rose,10, presented the donation during a two-week trip to Nairobi.

During the trip, Hatcher took her daughter to a boarding school.

And the star reveals the schoolchildren were so embarrassed to talk to her, they used her daughter as a go-between.

She says, "They loved my daughter. We talked about math. We joked. They would say, 'What subjects do you like in school? What's your hardest subject? What do you like? What do you do? What's your favourite thing to do?'

"We talked about sports. We talked about who likes science - stuff like that."
