Stort behov for oppussing

 Vi ble nettopp ferdig med vårt 16. skoleår! Vi har prøvd å holde bygningen vedlike, men nå er det lenge siden vi har hatt penger til det. Det STORT behov for oppussing: Vi har et stort behov for å fikse taket som kan ramle ned noen steder.  Det er farlig. Dørene er slitte. Murpussen har skallet av på både vegger og gulv. Fargene som en gang var friske og fine, har falma.  Hvor mer penger vi får inn, hvor mer kan vi fikse. Vi ønsker å gjøre skolen klar til nytt skoleår i januar 2026.

Vi kommer langt med NOK 20 000. Kan du være med å bidra til dette? <3 Kontonummer 1503 91 06091 eller Vipps: #104265

End of year party 2025

 Jambo Happy Day family,  

We have come to the end of the third and last term of 2025. 

We had a good and enjoyable day with our pupils and teachers. 

We were also privileged to have the British army training unit in Kenya ( BATUK) who visited unannounced.  

They brought very many story books sweets, biscuits and juice. 

We too had bought ours for the end term party and so we made merry and rejoiced together. 

We are very grateful for the support extended to us from all. 

We wish our families and staff a very enjoyable Christmas holiday.

It was noted that there had been an increase in the attendance of pupils since the re introduction of the feeding program.  This week we had 3 new admissions from an immigrant family ( Burundi nationals) who are living in very very needy and poor conditions.
They are now assured of free education and two meals a day for five days in a week.
Availability of Learning and teaching materials has also made it easy and smooth for both educators and learners.
-The premises is direly in need of renovations and a face-lift.  The paints are peeling off, the iron sheets are torn and a danger to all, the doors on our iron sheet classes are worn out too( will post pictures on Monday).

it was noted that the water cartels in the area keeps on interfering with our pipes ( especially in our absence) and that we need to find a lasting solution to this. It was suggested that we find the area community chairman and get to know what we need to do to stop the menace.  ( we will try to find him this week).

MIN 5.
Having no other business,  the meeting was adjourned with a word of prayer from tr.  Mary. 

Due to the recent gen z demonstrations against the government,  education in kenya has been greatly affected because of:::;
- disruption of learning.
- distraction of properties and businesses leading to loss of income for parents. 
- hard economic times


We currently have 42 learners and 4 teachers.

Almost half of the learners lack basic learning materials including  books.
Luckily we are now able to provide them with pencils,  crayons, modeling clay,  erasers and sharpeners. 
They lack books and uniforms , however we keep our hopes high and take one day at a time.

We are sincerely grateful  and we appreciate all the support and input given to us by all our well wishers....
Be blessed always. 

And as we say in swahili,  Asante sana
