When we were at the school in Kenya, we got an idea of what the day was like for the students - it is a long day! Thought we would post it here to give our friends at home an idea!
Tumaini Student Schedule
Day normally starts at 7am – teachers are at the school. Parent work days start early, so everyone is up and out of the house.

3:20 – 4:00 – Games time & cleaning of the school
- Students are assigned certain days and chores to clean up the school. If they are not cleaning, they are participating in the games.
4:00 – 5:00 back to class for self-study & remedial
Grade 7 & 8’s stay for at least one more hour for self-study as home is too difficult for study. There is no room and lots of distraction (some won’t have lights or proper materials). Most of these students live in a single room apartment with the rest of their family, so they would not have a very good place for study.
