Committees and updates

Different committees have been set by the team to discuss different budget and program for the December holidays. We have plans to make this festive season exciting for both our kids and those that live out on the streets. Shopping trips, family day(the students' guardians and family get to come to the farm for a visit), Christmas parties at the farm and parties in the streets, team and student retreat,-just to hang out, bond and rejuvenate; awards for the students who have not only excelled in class work, but also in spiritual and character building.
The Eastleigh tournament started yesterday, and so far, all is well. Teams form bases have registered for the tournament are working hard to be top.
We are still concerned about security and safety in Eastleigh, we are taking precautions with visiting bases, but normal street programs are still running.
Other incidences on the streets are violence and unrest at the bases. Reports from our team in Eastleigh say that, some base 'masters' came together and met to try and have peace between them and the Somalis. They went to the local authority (chief of Eastleigh North), and tried to ask of his help concerning security, but the chief encouraged them to take revenge and take law into their own hands.
So the local authorities within the slum areas are not helping or don't want to make it their business that there is peace on the streets and around the neighborhood.
