Exit students update!

It's astonishing to note how fast time flies, already three months are gone. Well after the graduation ceremony of Patricia, Mary Wanjiku, Halima and Moses Kung'u, comes the hard part of looking for jobs for them. Already Halima is employed at Narcisse Salon (a salon in town), and this month we went job hunting for Patricia and Mary. As the country continues to experience hard economic times, a lot of people are being laid off work. This has made it even harder for our students and other people joining the job market get work and it seems like it will take longer before we are able to secure jobs for the students. This month we were not successful but we hope that this coming month we will make progress. We will include Cugia in the list of job hunter too. Currently we are working on getting his ID which is proving hard because he has no supporting documents to do so. All the documents got destroyed in Mathare (slum area) a long time ago.As for the students in college, Anastacia has really impressed us with her performance. She will be finishing her first semester at the journalism college this month. She is very happy that she has been able to mix with students who have gone to mainstream school and perform as per their level. Susan is equally performing well and this is evident from the good hairstyle she has done on girls. As for Lucy Muthoni, we started having problems with her skipping school towards the beginning of this month and later on she stopped attending school. When we followed up on her case, we learnt that she had gone to her upcountry place and we have not heard from her ever since. Morris also has started his studies in Computer and is now staying with his aunt in Dandora(a mid-level suburb), coming only on the weekends to visit and get what he needs.Ken Wambugu, Joseph Wambua and Francis Wahome are all doing well at the various Auto mechanics garage in town where they are on attachment. We are seeing a lot of maturity and responsibility in them and if they continue like this, they will be successful in life.
