On Monday the playgroup began and the children are having a great time. There are a few teething problems but we are working with Ndolimana and Neema to give them more ideas for activities and games. Children usually do not get the chance to just play so we are almost teaching them how to play and share things. Rachel and I have tried the Okey kokey which was great fun and the children have been learning new songs.
The brick making group is progressing with the group getting quotes for the start up of the project and people are showing great interest.
The Standard 7 children who will finish primary school at the end of this year received their mock examination results and all of them passed with great marks. We also visited Clement Dickson (pictured) who is at Bukumbi Primary school, he used to be very naughty and would mess around a lot but I was so happy to hear that he has become head prefect! A great honour for him and he is studying very well.
On a sad note Abel who is one of the boys that we have helped out with some of his school fees as he has no parents, has had to leave where he was staying with a friend as there is no room for him, and therefore has nowhere to stay. Abel is a fantastic young man and it broke our hearts to see him so distressed and hungry. He has achieved very good marks at school but faces such big problems. We hope that we will be able to help him in the future so that he has somewhere to stay and that he can complete his studies.
