Graduation ceremony

On Friday a group of our older kids, that is those who were in college doing various studies, Catering, Salon and Hair Management. We have others enrolled to the same college from the streets who are being sponsored my MITS through the Conways and the Eastleigh team. Some are in Auto mechanics, and are progressing well. The ocassion was graced by so many parents/gurdians and supporters of the college, the chief guest was a well known lawyer and great orator PLO Lumumba. The assistance chief guest was a former student of the institution Grace who also happens to be the sister to Anne Mwangi. Grace was one of the first students who attended the college as it was being opened. She was also in the same class with our own Laurent Mugambi. Now she is a successful business woman managing her own company.
The graduants were Moses Kung'u with a catering certificate, Mary Wanjiku - catering, Patricia and Lucy who were both studying salon management and beauty.
More youths from the streets (both mothers and older guys) are also undertaking various courses in the school, we have developed a good network with this school as it close to us and relatively affordable to us.

It msut be very satisfying to see some of your students graduate, especially when you remember how far they have come from the streets. When I taught high school kids graduation day was always so sentimental. Even the rowdy kids came over and thanked me for being their teacher. And the ones I really liked brought tears of joy to my eyes. I hope you got to experience that feeling...Larry
