Hi, everyone in America. I am in Kenya
in a small town called Kajiado, using the internet café. I am not sure I can
upload my pictures but I am going to try. I am working in Iltareto, a primary
school with ages from 2-16 years old. The children are fun to work with and
very interested in me and my long hair. We came into town today to buy some dishes
for the teachers because when lunch is served at the school some of the
teachers have to wait for spoons and bowls to be used in order to eat.
The
children pay about $100 a year to attend the school. Some of the families cannot
afford to pay to send their children to the school. It would be amazing if we
could give a child or two a scholarship. Education is very
important and would be one of the greatest gifts you could give one of these
children. There are many older children in class 8 who have large ambitions of
being doctors and policemen. At the end
of class 8 the students take a standard national test written in English. The
scores they make will determine what high school they can attend. It costs
about $500 to attend high school for a year. I have asked the head of the
school to choose 2 high achieving students with a need and give me profiles of
each student so that if we raise enough money we can sponsor them with a year
of high school.
Above I have stated my long term plans. I
would also like to place permanent pencil sharpeners in each room. I need your
help with this! Please click on the go fund me now and donate to help make one of
these children very happy. Even $5 helps a lot.
Thank you for your prayers and your help.
I am learning so much over here that is hard
to express in words. Most importantly,
All of the children from my Kenyan school say
Supa!
The next blog I post I am hoping
will be longer please understand I have very limited internet and electricity
if you have a specific question pleas text me if you have my number or ask on
here. I am working on getting more internet access.
