Day 4: Tumaini - Final Day!

7/20/2017

0 Comments

 
So today was our last day in Nairobi, and at Tumaini Primary.  It is always very hard to say goodbye to our friends here, and to the children - so instead we say 'See you later!'

In the morning we went to the school for a meeting with parents of the students we are supporting in secondary school.  Unfortunately we couldn't see the students as they are not on holiday yet!  Polly will try and get us updated pictures - and definitely letters when they come for holiday in August, so we will receive them in the fall.

The meeting with the secondary parents was good.  It was called when we were here so we could, along with our people running things here on the ground, explain the fees as well as expectations we have of the families.  All the parents do agree that they should contribute to their child's education - both financially and with encouragement, as far as studying, communicating with sponsors and timely communication if there are any issues at school.
We returned to our guesthouse in the afternoon, and the Tumaini board came and joined us for a meeting. We discussed how the students are doing, the successes the school is experiencing as well as areas that can be worked on.  We also had a good discussion about the future and plans to increase the self-sufficiency of the school.  We have a very good team here who have the students and the community firmly in their hearts!

We leave very early tomorrow morning for Rwanda.  We will continue blogging as much as possible but be aware that internet access is not as reliable! Stay tuned-more adventures to come!
