In Mathare

Being welcomed by George

Hanging out with "my guys"

Checking out the results of the National exams. 

As always the Excellent kids scored high!

Today I spent half my day in the school in Mathare. It is fantastic to see the progress we made over the years. The new school building was finalised and it was quite touching to see how far our efforts have gone. The new building is so nice and there are six rooms, with proper floors and iron sheets as walls. They also had electricity, desks and blackboards. The students told me they were so happy with the new building, but I still could not understand how they can fit 40 students in every room. As always, I'm impressed by the students positive attitude and their warm welcome. Even though the school is starting to look nice it is still not even close to a "regular" school. I have to remind myself that I'm doing all I can and that the progress is astonishing! I also talked to George about a few fundraising activities. I promised him that I will not give up my work when I leave for uni! I need to get myself together to apply for funds from three different organisations and I feel more motivated than ever to do it. Monday is a ISK holiday, and I'm going to set aside a few hours to do that. I'm also planning to update the webpage and make a new I-movie!
