Schools cultural Exchange
Students and head teacher receive package[/caption]
In the month of February Njoguini primary school received a package from Stephen Girard Elementary School. The students were very happy for the gifts that they received from their sister school.
This gave the students a sense of connection with their sister school in Philadelphia.
The headmaster at Njoguini primary school Mr. Silvester M. Mutahi feels very proud of the support from PA-MOJA and the sister school.
Roads to Schools
PA-MOJA supports 18 Kenyan schools surrounding the Ol Pejeta conservancy and in conjunction with this Moses Waihenya the education officer went round for three days taking coordinates for roads leading to these schools (map will be uploaded soon).
Bursaries
PA-MOJA managed to transform the lives of 32 students in the region covered by the OPC. This was made possible with the help of various community committees elected by the local community. Many students are now in a position to undertake their studies at the secondary level unlike previously where they would just be school dropouts. Kevin
Mwangi a student at Thome boys whose grades are always high and will be among the first class to sit for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education had this to say” am greatly humbled by what PA-MOJA has done for me over the years am now coming to the end of my secondary education my main aim is an A standing and am very optimistic that I will get that at the end of this so I can pursue my dream of becoming the greatest doctor Kenya has ever produced. Am very humbled by PA-MOJA because of their generosity and I look forwards to extending that by helping a needy child one day. God bless PA-MOJA.”
Uniforms for Schools
With support from PA-MOJA, students at some schools received new uniforms. The children could not hide their joy because some come from poor backgrounds and they have to rely on other students who complete grade 8 to give them their old uniforms. These schools included Ndururi Primary school, Mirera primary school and Uaso-Nyiro Primary school. These schools received 68 new uniforms and for 10 year old Loseku Kesio, who has to rely on hand me downs from his older siblings, the new clothes were enough to bring tears to his eyes. “God bless you all.” he repeated over and over to Ol Pejeta’s Assistant Education Officer Silvester Saibulu.
