New dorm, placement exams.

John has been working extra hard to finish up the new dorm at the skills training property. The new dorm will house mainly male students who are in skills training. The dorm has 9 rooms which will house two per room. Inclusive is a staff quaters which has a toilet and bathroom.
Right now plastering of the rooms is being done, wiring and plumbing. After, it will be painted, bedding and necessary furniture put in. It also has a kitchen area for the boys to prepare their meals. The kitchen area is big enough to house a lounge area. (pictured above is Moses Mwangi and Patrick Saulo, who work with John is all construction work).
The Agriculture/welding building is done.

New students have been in an orientation period for the past two weeks. They met with almost all team members, mostly those that handle skills training classes, and the
administration. So they got to ask all question they had and exhausted all their curiosity.
Yesterday and today were exam days for them. This is to help the literacy teachers know where and what level to place them. A couple have never had the experience of a classroom, but a good number have been in a formal school before running to the streets. Philip, Irene and Fiona have already come up with a timetable which fits current and new students.
