The end of first term 2014 is finally here. Everybody was in high spirit because all of us have at least one week of rest. The days ceremony was accompanied by speeches from our Advisor Charles Coulston, Administrator Francis Mbuvi, Head of literacy Phillip Kariuki and Head of Skills Jacktone Omondi. All of them gave encouraging words to the student to start new school term out with vigor. they should recognize and acknowledge the facts as they overcome educational and social hurdles,all the while trying to keep their own sanity intact it will be strenuous. They should never get tired because it will pay at some point. The key thing that everyone talked about was to never give up

She expressed her gratitude to MITS staff and all of its supporters and well wishers. she said they are very approachable and always ready to listen to students concerns.She said MITS has enabled her to be an excellent source of support to her students. Her words will spur the other students to do even better. she is working really hard on her new job and has also shown  so much love on her work.

Updates

The conference was attended on by the hair and beauty therapists and fashion design students.  This was an international platform and a big step forward for MITS.  There was good and wide publicity.
This was the first meeting to launch the organization in East Africa. The vice chancellor of Technical university of Kenya and other personalities of influence graced the occasion.
 The students had lots of fun and learned a lot.
Many people have shown interest in knowing what we do.



The new students  were taken to shop for clothes, unfortunately two girls ran away that was after they were given money to shop with. They thought this was so much that it could sustain them. Jane and Janet ran back to the streets, fortunately Jane came back to her senses and returned to the center in Eastleigh. All the new students are now having a Narnia story time  with Darlene everyday at 4.30. The other teachers are also having classes with them. Among the many good lessons they are having in this classes, they've had a goal class. Here they question themselves on the things they want to achieve in the period that they are here with us and beyond. They had an activity where they cut out the size of their feet on pieces of construction paper and wrote their goals on their feet since our feet lead us to all the places we go, they can look at them and keep reminding themselves to stay focused.

Mercy Ooka was among the new students, she came when eight months pregnant.  After a month of staying with us she delivered a baby girl called Janice Asami on 4th April at 3 a.m. Both the mother and baby are doing very well and also healthy.
