Good Things are Happening!

Duncan just sent these photos of the latrines at Galilee and WHS being built.

Thanks again to our amazing sponsors who raised the money for the land to be purchased, and also a big thanks to Feed the Children for building the latrines.

 

 

Friday's Featured Student - In need of a helping hand

Joseph SOS55

Meet Joseph - SOS55

Joseph will be 11 years old on June 25. He is in class 5B where his best subject is English. His father died and he now lives with his unemployed mother and older sister in the slums. At home he helps by washing clothes. Joseph likes to ride a bike. When he grows up he wants to be a pilot. Would you like to be Joseph's special friend and sponsor?

Now we are offering a limited number of children on a Basic Program Sponsorship. While breakfast, uniform and school supplies are not included, these sponsorships provide an opportunity for children to exchange letters with their sponsors and provide a stipend toward the school's operating costs.

To participate in the Basic Sponsorship Program, choose a child and make a yearly donation of at least $25, $35 or $50, whatever you are comfortable with. You can donate more if you like, knowing that the funds will go toward offsetting the school's operating expenses.

Or you can sponsor Joseph on the Galilee Primary School Sponsorship program,  fees are $12.50/month which now cover a nutritious fruit breakfast, a basic school uniform, basic school supplies and a small stipend toward the school's operating costs. These sponsorships provide vital funding for the child's and school's needs. In return you will receive a photo and letters from your child each term, knowing that you are sending your child to school with fruit in their tummy and a nice uniform and supplies.

Please email info@nairobikids.com to learn how you can help.

Our wonderful sponsors have done it again!

One of the things that makes Nariobi Kids different from most other non-profits, is the fact that we are 100% volunteer run.  While it may have it's draw backs it also has some wonderful rewards, more money goes to the school and the students, and it has created a sense of family among our sponsors.  Our wonderful sponsors are constantly amazing us with what they are willing to do to help. 

Thanks to one of those wonderful sponsors a Danish organization called Pens for Kids recently sent over 5000 pens to our students.

If you can help or know of any organizations that may be able to lend a hand to the school and students please email us at info@nairobikids.org

Friday's Featured Student - Update -- H'es been Sponsored!

Meet Sampson

I am reposting Sampson again this week, since he is still waiting for sponsor.  The cost of food and gas have gone up dramatically in Kenya recently, making it very hard to get by.  The school and it's students need all the support it can get to make it through this tough time.

Samson is 13 years old and in Form 1. His birthday is August 1, 1997. Samson lives with his parents, and his father is a farmer. His mother is jobless. He has four much older brothers and an older sister.  He enjoys playing legball and helps with cooking at home. His best subject is business studies and he wants to be a doctor someday. Samson scored 294/500 on the KCPE exam. 

Samson has been waiting a very long time to find a sponsor.  We have found in the past that students that have a sponsor are much more likely to stay in school and continue on in their education.  The simple fact that someone that he has never met cares enough about him to help him achieve his dreams, can be just enough to help him succeed.  Can you help encourage this young man to stay in school and complete his education so that he may leave the slums, by becoming his sponsor?

For only $12.50 per month you can help change the life of a child forever.  Please email info@nairobikids.org to learn more.

We're happy to report that Samson has been sponsored!  Please visit our website at www.nairobikids.org to see more children who would love to hear the news that they have been sponsored!

Our Choirs Have Done It Again!

Hi,

It is another happy day for us all here at Galilee. Our GPS  and WHS  choirs have done it again, GPS choir  scooped the top first places in the three classes they participated and WHS won in one of the two classes the participated. In one of the classes GPS won we are now going to keep the trophy for  good being that we have won it three consecutive years. If we had the funds we would have taken them to National music competition in Nakuru  which will be taking place  from 27th  July but since we cannot afford it we shall let it rest there until next year again.

I'm happy to hear reports about sponsors receiving  letters from their sponsored children, in the meantime our form 4 are finishing their  mocks.... Thank you again  for the big efforts you made in raising funds for the land, we shall be sealing the transaction  of the land on Monday next week.

 

Thank you

God bless

Latrine Land Goal Reached!

Thanks to the tremendous efforts of donors, sponsors and fundraisers we reached our goal of raising the $4700 necessary to purchase the land for the latrines.  Now that the land can be purchased, Feed the Children can proceed with erecting six latrines which they are donating to Galilee Primary School.  What a great difference this will make in the health and sanitation for our children. 

Thank you to everyone who participated.
