Student Life


I would like to talk a little bit about Jackline  Akasa. Jacky has been known to be a  very quiet girl. In class teachers have reported that she seems withdrawn and makes no attempt to relate with the others in class.
However, the girl is slowly coming out of her shell. The beauty of her smile and the mystery in the corner of her eyes when she looks around without wanting anyone to notice that she is around draws me closer to her. This makes me want to know what is going on in her mind. She has had a rough path growing up, just like the rest of them. Jacky needs a lot of reassurance as she needs also people who will acknowledge her feelings and thoughts. Just like every other girl, she wants to be told she is beautiful and she can be and is loved. These are the things that matter to her right now. I have noticed that when they have fallout in the dorms, the mere mentions of her features and mother in a negative way sends her straight to tears, however little it may seem.
It is my prayer that through the bible classes, weekly devotionals and guidance that we offer them here at Kamulu, she will come to believe that she is special no matter what her past may have been.
