Open Day / Sponsored Walk - 26 07 2008

The open day went really well…we had children playing football, swing, rope skipping. They also entertained visitors with songs and verses. At the end of the day, each child received a present for working hard during the term that ends next week. They received exercise books, pencils and colours.

The sponsored walk did not however take off as very few people had sponsored the children (obviously because of the high cost of living at the moment and the fact that many families are going without food). Instead, those who had pledged offered to give us the money and asked that we organize the walk later in the year when the locals would have harvested maize. We raised KShs 10,000/= (GBP 80) which I used to pay the three teachers honoraria as they had not received any payment for the last three months they have worked.
