This school includes a large number of Maasi ‘nomadic students’ who follow the cattle and sheep according to grazing conditions. School attendance is thus irregular.
Funds were needed from Bake Sales, sponsored haircuts, etc. to renovate classrooms, supply laptops…. As usual each Irish student must raise at least €1000 for the infrastructure of the school we visit.
We are so welcomed by the intrigued local young people!
This year, like a shot out of the blue, someone, I still don’t know who she was, offered to fund some ancillary project even though her son was not participating. Options offered were installing and renovating the sleeping area in a residence for Special Needs children; or connecting it to the local power supply; or providing a water source. Our benefactress decided to fund all three! Those children now have, amongst other things, a clean room with proper beds and the necessary mosquito nets.
