Well, we arrived!  Flight was long but uneventful!  We are staying in a really nice guest home and being well looked after!
Today we headed out to Tumaini to see the students and our friends there.  It was nice to be back there and see so many familiar faces.  The kids are growing and thriving!
We met the new Head Teacher - Tera Anaya, pictured below.  He spent some time with us, toured us around, and then sat with us and went over how the school is doing.
He emphasized in his report that the goal of the school remains 'giving a life changing opportunity through education to the less privileged children the Mathare and Mathare Informal settlements and their surroundings'.
The school's enrolment is at 403 students with 17 teachers and 6 support staff.

After lunch we toured around through classes again, giving our candy and gum and creating general chaos.
