Updates January 2024

18 January: Good morning happy day family... This is our current situation. The pipe that brings water to our plot was vandalized and currently no water is flowing into our tank. We are almost running out of water.

We have had a plumber come to check it out and this is what he requires for the repairs

It is an urgent need

22 January: Good evening happy day family. We hope you are all fine.

This week as started well and almost all the children are back .

We have started the feeding program though small quantities... The kids are very happy.

Our eco safi stove ( environmental friendly stove) uses special pellets.

We are supposed to purchase 1sacks ( 30kg ) each month for us to be able to keep the stove.

This month we haven't bought the pellets.

We are therefore required to order for them @ 1400 shillings.

We will appreciate if we get the pellets.

Have a blessed evening

30 January: Good morning happy day family... The pellets were delivered and we to you all.

This is the stove that we are using

Annelene: We are struggling with raising enough money to cater for Happy days needs. Salaries and food must be prioritized, but we do understand the need to pay for licences and learning materials. We will continue to try to raise money and wish you well <3

A New School Year at Happy Day Junior School

Good Afternoon Happy Day family....

Happy new year to you all. We trust that you all had a great Christmas holiday. We too had a lovely time with our families.

Schools opened on 8th January 2024 for the first term of this year.

We are happy that most of our pupils and staff reported back.

We are looking forward to a good start this term and we hope that by the end of the term we will have achieved our objective.... Which is :

1. To create a safe space for our learners.

2. To give quality education ( both academic and social)

3. To make a difference in a childs life and put a smile on their face.

We have always achieved the above because of your continued support.

We are very grateful for the support we receive from you and our friends. Feel appreciated very much.

Being a new term and our pupils transitioning to the next class, we have a few requirements for us to be able to achieve our objectives.... This are:

1. Exercise books

2. Pencils

3. Crayons

4. Water colours

5. Plain papers

6. Fullscaps

7. Scissors

8. Office glue

9. Stick glue

10. Biro pens

11. Modeling clay

12. Mark pens

13. Staples

14. Paper punch

NB: We require text books for all learning areas and at least one encyclopedia for each class (this we can get from The Kenya Institute Of Education) so that we buy the recommended ones.

It is also our hope that we continue with the feeding program which has been very instrumental in helping us to achieve our objectives. This is because the kids look forward to coming to school because they are assured of getting 2 meals each day (porridge at break time and food for lunch).

We will give an updated report on attendance after we open .

We wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.

We are also supposed to renew our licences for this year so that we can be at the right side of the law. Especially the Nairobi city county one and the kra one.

For the ministry one we have to wait for the new guidelines because I understand there are some changes made by the ministry

Below are prices for the required licences...

Certificate of

1. Incorporation ... 10000 ( standard for all businesses)

2. Unified business permit( former county council permit).... 26000

3. Kra operations license. 22000

We are supposed to start the application process so that we can be able to operate smoothly during this academic year.

Kenya Institute Of Education cost for the required textbooks

1. Encyclopedia for all lower primary grades.... 4 @ 680 = 2720

2. Activity books for all lower primary grades ( each grade has 5 learning areas)....

Each books costs 350 × 5 =1750

1750 × 4 = 7000
