Two Thousand and ' Mine'

This year classes in mits have started on a high note although we continue to witness and encounter things that are trying to bring this very young year to a bad start like the court hearing and the ongoing drought, but as moses puts it, we are still in high spirits because this year is TWO THOUSAND AND 'MINE'. God is always with us so we only need to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off.
We now have a new schedule in place for our literacy students that was started this month. New subjects, new classes and very soon new uniforms for our kids. I didn't know how the kids would take all these changes but from the first day, they have shown lots of enthusiasm in everything. We now have three classes, the fast track, literacy two and literacy one. I did not realize it but our kids are growing up very fast. Most of them are getting into our skills program after graduating from literacy program so we are having a smaller number in our literacy classes. The fast track class which comprises of our most advanced students in terms of education is preparing to do the government exam at the end of this year and we have a total of thirteen, a larger number than we had previously. The last group did us very proud and have set a new chapter for us. Every students in our classes are now learning seven subjects, Bible, Computers, Math, English, Science, Social Studies and Swahili, five of which are tested in the government exam. This way our kids can get quality education which will better equip them when they get to go out there to meet the world.
For the others, they are happy that they get to learn new things and are always holding books everywhere they go.
We pray that things will work well this year.
