LET US BE FORWRD LOOKING,,,!

 HOW TIME FLIES !!    We are at the Beginning of MARCH already, and so much going on in world all around us - and yet we seem hidden from most of it, in our small and almost insignificant compound.     But, those who know the Lord, are forced to notice that things are changing in our world, and even in friendly, sunny, Kenya.

Much harder to find paid employment, of any kind;  Food available, but not affordable, and the Kenya Shilling dropping in buying power all the time.   Hardship everywhere.

At the same time Education is becoming more expensive, with a NEW Syllabus, touching both the Primary and Secondary School System, forcing parents to find NEW books, and even School equipment, previously unasked for.     Petrol, Electrity AND WATER, all constantly rising in monthly costs.   This is causing considerable need to economise on every hand.

Conversely our School began, last year, to commence MUSIC as a curricular subject, SO many students have risen to the challenge, and parents have remarkably done the same, and have assisted; by  themselves buying instruments of a wide  variety-currently a small Band is being put together with considerable excitement and fervour.

WE NOW HAVE a School of 800 odd, including our own 124 from the Homes. A New Syllalbus was commenced six years ago, our own School chosen to be one those PILOTING.   Previouly we had a System known as 8-4-4-. This has now been replaced with 6-3-3 ( six years in Primary, three years in Junior High, and 3 years in Senior High before going to College or University.This year was our FIRST year to see our 1st year of Junior High commence.   Below is a photo of some of these first timers - ages approx 13
