We Are Getting There!

Hi guys, i am updating you on school construction progress at GIWA Farm, Nakuru. It was a funny day with the kids trying to 'manage my mind by telling me lies'.Gosh! how they looked innocent as they continued 'drawing' when i asked them why they did not go to school on that particular day. They were 5 of them and they came and sat next to me and we started chatting. I asked each one of them why they never attended school and they all gave me 'very good reasonable answers' but i knew they were managing my mind. Another one came running from nowhere and i asked him the reason why he did not also attend the school and the answer was'i am sick'. Anyway i just laughed as this was the only thing remaining at the time. Just looking at the innocence on their faces when they kept 'drawing and drawing' but it was fun for me. They reminded me on how i used to 'manage my mum's mind' as she was easier to 'manage' than my dad( we know alot of us have been there). They made my day. These kids walk more than 1 and half hours to their nearest school including the nursery children. Can you imagine your child walking such a long distance every morning and evening and some of them don't even have meals waiting for them when they get back homes? This is why they have to learn how to 'survive' including of not even going to school. Ok, lets get back to work,we are now on the 5th and 6th classes and they are almost done. We will only be remaining 2 more classes,administration block and toilet blocks for both boys and girls and we will be done. By the end of this year we hope to have a complete primary school done and kids ready to occupy it by early january,2011. I think i will be more happier than the children as i know what it is to walk for a long distance to go to school while you are child and go without a meal for the day. Thank you to the World teacher Aid. You have no idea what you have done to these children and they will have the education like any other child. They have already gone through so much looking back from where they come from since 2008 while the violence turned their lives upside down. When you have a meal,water to drink,a cloth to wear,a shelter to lay your head on,your children have access to education, never forget to thank you ,your creator as anything may happen anytime,anywhere and anyhow. And when we have a chance to help those who are in need,lets do it as the chance may fly out of our hands unexpectedly.
