Gladys and Lydia, both high school students, are so happy to get a head start of their school reading with the new books we provided them!
In Kenya, the school year runs January-November and they have 3 semesters per year. After a month long rest for students, schools reopened in May. As much as it is great news, back to school bustles are not easy to keep up with in Kenya. However, we managed to beat deadlines and our children are successfully back in school all expenses paid for the rest of the year.
As previously planned, every child in our school sponsorship program received a package of stationery, course books as well as reading books. On the other hand, our team made it their personal errand to ensure that all outstanding tuition fees, examination fees and other sundry expenses were fully settled for the remaining bit of the year.
Also, among the items distributed were essential toiletries, prayers and great motivation from our team. The children were excited to resume school for the second of three terms this year knowing that they will stay in school and focus on learning other than worrying of dropping out.
From the look registered on their faces, they are all set to learn new things that will eventually translate into shaping a brighter future for them. We wish all the best and God’s protection over them.
