Cat and Orla Visit

Next week the school will host Cat and Orla from Ireland. Cat has just finished her PhD at Manchester University. I met her during one of the UKGRAD Schools held at Exeter University in 2006. Together with her sister, they will be at the school for about 8 days during the time which they will train the teachers on how to use the various computer programmes in their daily lessons. The duo have also kindly accepted to undertake some DIY at the school. For this they will be bringing with them a number of paint brushes and rollers and aprons! I have warned them about the high cost of living here and the lack of electricity at the school. They have no problem fueling my old car to get them to places and will be part of the cooking in the kitchen they say! On behalf of the teachers, children and the community, we say karibu sana and safe flight to Kenya. We look forward to seeing you here soon.
