Introducing to you...


The little girl in the first photograph is called Jennifer Atieno. She is from Victory 1 and is in the nursery class.

The boy in the second photograph is Elias Baya. He is in standard 3 and is aged 10 years. He is above average and has no health problems. His mother has the full responsibility of taking care of all her children. The father has left the home.

The girl the second photograph is Priscah Akinyi. She is in standard 6 and her date of birth is 9.8.96, so she is now 13 years old. Priscah is a very hardworking girl. She has been coming top of her class every term with very good grades. She has no health problems. She is an orphan who lives with a foster parent.

We will go on!

As most of you have probably heard by now the Kenya Service Project has gone through some changes. Well, actually, one big change only.
Unfortunately, it has been decided that the 8 studenst from the ISSE will not be visiting the Victory school in Mombasa. This has been a big disappointement to us as well as to the Victory school, who were really looking forward to our visit.

On a brighter note, though, we have now recovered from the blow, and I am proud to anounce that all eight students have decided to continue their work for the KSP. Most important is that the Victory school still needs our support, and that is what we will keep offering them. So, more fundraising activities will be organised throughout the rest of the school year to collect as much money as possible for our Kenyan friends.

Sjef and Mascha, two of the three ISSE teachers involved in the KSP, are still planning a visit to the Victory School. We have decided that we find it very important to keep the personal contact going with the school, since everyone seems to be getting so much out of it. Sjef and Mascha will most likely go to Mombasa for a week in June. They will do as much as they can to help out at the school and to set up plans for the future of the KSP. Their report will be shown on here and at the ISSE afterwards.

Another way to keep the personal contact alive is by introducing some of the Victory school's students to you. I will do this in the next post.

Hope to update you again soon!
