Greetings to you all..

We at Happy Day Junior school are fine too.
We started 2026 in high spirits and renewed hopes and strength. 
The atmosphere here feels fresh and we are all charged up for the rest of the year.
Our premises are as good as new ..
We say Asante sana to all our friends and partners for the face-lift. 
Our classroom are all newly painted and the floors are so nice ..
Again we say thank you.
Our blackboards too are newly painted!!..
Our roofs are nolonger leaking!.
They are all painted!.
We are very grateful . 
Our kids are back and the ones who outgrew our classes have already joined new schools after we did a follow up.
We gave our partner school ( new horizons) a few names of our kids and we hope they take them in.
We have a population of 4 teachers and at the close of business today we had a total of 38 kids. Some of those who have not reported back have called to say that they will be back by the first week of February. 
We are expecting to reach 50 kids which is always our maximum. 
Meals are served twice a day..
1. Breaktime porridge.
2. Lunch.
Again we say Asante sana for the hot meals.
We have enough Stationaries for this term and enough story books and toys. We feel blessed. 
Most of our kids are in full school uniform because we requested those who were leaving to donate theirs to those who were remaining and those who were joining. 
Only a few don't have uniforms. 
Most of them don't have black school shoes but they have shoes that they come with.
Our teachers are doing a very good work in nurturing the young citizens of the world..
We are very proud of the work they are doing. 
In February we have a fun day coming up and we hope the kids will attend and make memorable memories of their childhood.

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.
