Yesterday I was Really touched by the way somebody handle himself by the wonderful thing he did.

This weekend will be more funnier as I will be selling the magazines because,I love traveling and interacting with new  fiends. 

KCSE Results

In roughly one hour, the Kenya Certificates of Secondary Education (KCSE) results will come in. As you walk into Kibera and arrive at the school, you can feel how everyone is anxious for the results... the energy is in the air today. It is a monumental day for KGSA as we have our first graduating class receiving their results.

Obviously there are a lot of questions that are being asked today... Did we do a good enough job? What are we going to do now once we get their scores? Will we have the resources to provide for future schooling for the girls that are graduating?

These questions are good to ask, and will continue to be asked. But today, I want to tell both Abdul and Teka, that no matter what the results are, I want to thank you both for the commitment you have shown to these girls and this community over the past four years (and more). You have sacrificed so much over the years and it is slowly paying off. To think that the girls now have their own magazine, or to think that we now have a science laboratory and a library on the way is incredible! You two are inspiring many people, me included, all around the world and I really hope you know that. You have changed my life & will remain my brothers forever.

with love,

Ryan

I have always liked socializing with people especially the many visitors who come to our school. I have always liked spanish but I don't know it very well but always trying.

As a girl living in Kibera I see different kind of issues and things every time I walk on the streets. Some are positive while others are negative.

Let me not put you into much stories of Kibera. Yesterday I had a wonderful day but later on we were given a lot of homework, so I had to do my mathematics calculations before going home which is 2km away from the school and I finished the homework at8:00pm which was already late. After my chores at home I had to continue with my homework until 1:00am then sleep for at least 2 hours then wake up to do my studies again.

Here are some photos of the recent teacher trainings where Abdul and the staff had to work together and build a lego structure matching the one outside. Only one person at a time could go outside and take a look at the figure for one minute. They had 10 minutes in total to create a replica. Also, photos of Lynn blogging in the new library!

Hey everyone. Yesterday on Saturday we started a series of trainings that will run for the next four weeks on leadership and teamwork management. The training was run by Mr. Tim Coburn who apparently is a member of the KGSA family. Tim ,who is a consultant for Kenya Airways shared his vast experience with the management, the teachers and the coaches at the new library at KGSA and it was both fun and a learning experience. We all enjoyed it and we look forward to next saturday.

Hi my name is Lynn Seru. I’m from KGSA and I stay with my dad and my younger sibling, that is my brother. A few days ago I went to the hospital then I saw something strange that is private hospitals are better than public hospitals. I was feeling a little bit sick and went for a laboratory check and the doctor said I had malaria. What bored me most was that I stayed there from morning to evening that is when I was given medicine then something else that i saw is that an old man was brought to the hospital but the doctors didn’t even take care of him. He fell down from the hospital bed and they didn’t even pick him up from down. But good luck, one of his relatives came and picked him up.

Yesterday I had a boring day because I had a lot of work to do. I take geography and physics and we were given many sums to calculate and so many diagrams to draw. In the evening I went home to do my usual chores like cooking, fetching water, and washing clothes. After all which I watch my favourite programme ‘STORM OVER PARADISE’ thereafter I felt sleepy and went to sleep before finishing my homework.

Today I came early for my physics class after which I went to meet with my journalism club which is now a magazine company called ‘KIBERA SHEDDERS’ which produces magazines after every three months. We went through the first issue of magazine and saw how perfect it was.
