This is Hamisi with his mother and little brother in the headmasters office at Njoro. After we paid his school fees we bought his tie and had him try it on. The look on his face and the puffed out chest say it all. He is happy to be there. I made that happen, and it feels really good.
Today I am going to head to Majengo with Thelma. She arrived in town on Tuesday night and will be staying for a couple of weeks. She is meeting with her friend Naseem, a woman who opened her house and life to teach nursery school. Over the last year Thelma and the other volunteers that worked with her have raised money to help Naseem build a new school. Thelma is here to check on the progress, and the progress is good. I don't know Naseem well, but what I do know of her is that she is a very trustworthy person.
The new school Naseem is building is right behind Jiendeleze and near the homes of the families we are sponsoring. After the morning school days, extra tuition sessions are being held for children of all ages, as well as Saturdays I believe. I am going to talk to Naseem about the children I have enrolled in primary school, and maybe pay for them to be able to have extra studying sessions on the weekends. It would be great if she did English tutoring as well. But, like I've said, I can't come to expect anything here, so today I will find out what more I can do. I hope it's a good day.
