Day 3:  Tumaini

7/19/2017

We spent the day today at Tumaini School again!  Today we took updated photographs of our sponsored students and gave them letters that sponsors wrote.  One young boy has recently been assigned a sponsor after not having one since he came into the program.  The look on his face showed us how important it was to him to have a real person behind the sponsorship instead of the society.

Then we had a real treat!  We were visited by one of our students who completed his secondary education in December.  He came to show us his acceptance letter to university where he will be studying engineering!!  He finished in the top three in his school, and therefore was eligible for government sponsorship that decreased his tuition, as well as student loans.  He is a real 'go-getter' who will be a success, and has already began giving back to his community by tutoring younger students.

After lunch, Rachael, Denis and Carolyn went into the grade 7 class to answer questions and have a discussion.  Denis was asked lots of questions about high school and advice for success.  Rachael and Carolyn were extremely proud of the way he spoke to students and the wisdom in the advice he gave.
For over an hour the students asked tonnes of questions and we enjoyed answering!!  A very enthusiastic bunch.
On our way to the car, we stopped into the bakery run by church members and parents at the school.  This is an example, along with the beading group, of programs put in place to empower parents.  It smelled wonderful, and we left with some samples!
