The year started well though with economical problems. The
students of both Kileleshwa and Learning Centre opened in January with happiness
and they were all excited to be back to school. Though most of them had lost
weight, they were well.
Students have been working so hard in their academics and several students
studying at Kileleshwa got Certificates of Merit and prizes during prize giving
days.
1. All children maintained cleanliness except for few, but, we talked to
their parents who promised to improve.
2. Transportation: The transportation of Kileleshwa students was
up to date. No student was late for school.
3. School Fees: The School fees have been paid on time. There were no
balances throughout the academic year.
4. Uniforms: Students got all the uniforms and they really tried to
maintain till the end of the year. Some are torn and they need new uniforms.
5. Stationeries: Students were supplied with enough text books, rulers,
Pencils, Pens etc. And everything went well.
6. Meetings: Most Parents and guardians attended meetings at both
Kileleshwa and Learning Centre.
7. Food: Kileleshwa students got their lunch well because they were given
the money for food on time. Learning Centre’s food was enough throughout the
year. No month passed with any shortage. The Budgets were prepared early and
Teresa was punctual in sending the funds. Though there were changes of prices in
some commodity, but we managed well, and all went well.
8. Learning Centre Uniforms: Children got these new uniforms in June and
were all excited. We give our sincere thanks to Kermit for standing in always
for the uniforms, food, Rent and Medicare.
9. Trips: Both Kileleshwa and Learning Centre have been privileged with
trips. The children have gone out severally with Kermit and this has made them
improve academically and gain skills.
10. Parties: Children have had several indoor parties and some get
together parties with other people. Through such parties, children have learnt
that sharing and eating together in love is a great thing in their lives.
11. Food to carry home: Kids got food from Kermit twice, this year to
carry home, thus, in September and December before going for break, parents and
guardians appreciated, and the staff as well, God bless the work of his hands.
12. Visitors: The centre received visitors as follows-May was Ramona,
Monique and Pacific University students, June was Georgetown, August was Kermit,
September was Pacific University Students, and November was Camilla, the wife of
Adam who visited the Children.
13. Medication: Kermit bought drugs worth 90,000 Kenyan Shillings, during
his visit, the children have been getting their treatments well whenever they
fall sick.
14. Other events: We also had Closing day Parties and Christmas. Kermit
organized a big Christmas party for the children, and staffs, also staffs got a
voucher for Christmas, it was fun, exciting and we pray that, this will be going
on at least every year. We hope so,
P.E (Physical Education) was conducted once by Georgetown students who also
donated uniforms to Jack and Juma.
Achievements
Academically all children performed well and improved health wise. We hope the
same will be replicated next year.
Challenges
One kid was admitted at the hospital and the bill went up and we had to pledge
for help from other people in order to clear the bill.
Sponsorship
Some visitors agreed to sponsor a number of kids but we haven’t received any
further information.
Food prices
There have been unexpected rises in price of food and most of the time when
we’ve been having problems making purchases to work in line with our budgets.
Water
We have been experiencing shortages of water since August after the water pump
broke down.
Way forward
We suggest that older children be given a first priority of going to formal
schools to give room for recruitment of new kids.
The school (Learning Centre) needs a notice board.
We hope that the sponsors of Kileleshwa students will release their fees early
so that these students can attend school early.
In general, we really thank you and appreciate you all, for the good work,
effort and the most of all, the love, care and support of our children, you are
angels,
We hope that, the New Year 2012 brings more fruits and all works well together
for good, it takes a good heart to do all these, we appreciate,
Thanking you in advance.
Evelyn Waneloba.
