Meaningful Thoughts Also in The streets

Thinking is a word derived from when man is in focus,there are both good thoughts and bad thoughts,whichever way one chooses, it forms character, and then comes achievement or loss in his /her future life.
On as usual we hid the streets again. and this time towards Buruburu the Nairobi outskirts,we met guys of all ages Men,boys,young mothers and babies, the Base was named Family Base,were welcomed and felled at ease,one thing in life to deeply think about is when you tent to visit a people who seem to be already have realized on how to be self dependent,therefore you must talk to each other as equals,and exactly this is what we meet.We the MITS team know how to live to all levels,so we come to their level.their leader was called to speak to us,and took us around the road sides showing us,Kale's,flower seedlings,a hand pulled cart,and a car washing place. all of what they imagined and did for their survival on the streets,what i did not see was a house they just sleep on the cold,
This guys are truly trying to be self reliant,and so we came in with the word of God,as i shared i saw their beaming faces ,i shared on how God so loved humanity, that he decided to create man in His (Gods)own image and that we should depend on Him (God) alone,in all we want to do in life,By asking Him (God) to give us the power to do it,through praying,they shook their heads in agreement to the word,
Therefore making choices is deeply embedded in human thoughts,let excavate the good thoughts and follow through to its completion, and leave a good legacy,to the coming generations,thus making our future times good and not bad,this is SIMON K MARTINE Bible,math,science educator from MITS,Nice time til then see you.

Focused and a lite future!

Friday we ventured the streets again and this time decided to go into another suburb known as Buruburu (an estate on the eastern side of Nairobi). We came across a new base called 'Family base'. All of the team present, were really filled with pride and joy when we were welcomed by the guys at that base, later on the master(leader of the base) joined us and introduced us to all his friends on the base. He later told us of the various projects that he and the guys have been involved in. A few girls were also present, with babies. If you ask me, this is a base that is so well organized and has stuff like projects running in order to support and maintain themselves and the community. They are involved in tree planting, nursery beds were present near the base. They have registered with the local authorities as the 'Family Base', involved in tree planting and other projects like a car wash, transportation services using a hand cart. They have had other organization visit them, and encouraged them. We as MITS reached out to them in the best was we know how, by sharing the Gospel, telling them what we are about, inviting them to join our league of soccer tournaments.Philip and Kennedy shared on info on how to get National Identifications as a large group, Anne told her side of the ministry and the work going Eastleigh. Ben told of the farm side of the ministry and what we do at the farm, and our involvement with street youth at Eastleigh and Mathare. We later went to other new base just near that same location.

Exam week!

We had our exams this week and as usual, everybody was tense and eager for what was coming. We all know that when we hear of an exam or test of any kind, there is that fear that grasps us and so we have tried to teach our students to embrace the concept of exams knowing that in life, there will always be tests that come our way. It does not necessarily have to be in classes but also in life and how we come out of it grades how well one can handle great situations.
As usual the kids did not disappoint and did their best which is always what I ask of them. The main exams they take are Math, English, Bible and Computers but we also added home science with one class. We have a class called the fast track class which comprises of those bright students who can really excel in even higher exams. We enrolled them to a major primary level exam which is done after eight years of primary education which takes one to high school. Their exams comes from the government and the seven students performed averagely, and we know that by the time they get to do this exam at the end of November, they will do very well. They need our support and prayers right now. For them they are graded on English, Math, Swahili, Social Studies and Science.
All the teachers have great confidence in our students and we know that they can win in every situation they come up to and we see it by the way they perform in their exams.

Moving out of the nest

One of the hardest periods for our students is when they are exiting from the program. Its a period where they need a lot of assurance that everything is going to be alright and that we are here for them. It has been a learning experience for the teachers too because at this time the students mostly are not themselves. I guess it usually draws us back to the time when we ourselves were in that same situation of moving out from the comforts of our homes into the harsh world. I also know that the times also are different too,much harder for them.
This time around we have some students moving out of the nest, that is Halima, Patricia, Cugia, Tabitha, Mary and Kung'u. Hey people! they need lots of encouragements and prayers from friends so that they know they are not alone and have the strength and courage to step out there boldly.

The Skills complex at the 19acres is all done, some of the older boys in the program have volunteered to help in the paint job.

Before Discovery Its Microscopic

Discovery is a word when mentioned someones name is in the offing,life is all about discovering who we are,anything we don't know is still to us micro, ,but after knowing we become the masters of it,then it goes into the past,and becomes History.
No wonder after our morning time with the students at MITS,i found it good to look at the microscopes,and as i was looking at a well prepared slide of pollen grains under a small electron microscope, some of the childrens' got interested and come to see(view) what i was doing,and so i let them also view as i continued to focus the slides for them, with a lot of interest and questions it become a class,as the team grew larger,some students could not believe what they were seeing, cos of magnification,they could not see anything on the slides,but under the microscopes they so big (magnified) materials, no wonder discovery makes humanity enthusiastic about life,so reader don't worry about what you don't know now, cos you don't know what you will ever know and that will be discovery to you.

Anything we don't know, it is still to us microscopic,Many of the worlds people live under fear,they run when nothing pursueth them,dig holes for others and fall in themselves,but anyone who is focused and wants to learn and discover the unknown soon becomes masters,and thus celebrities,so move on brother/sister and know more in the world,what we don't know someone else has known it,adios enjoy life and stay focused,this is SINOM K MARTINE an educator of Science,Mathematics and Bible at MITS,be blessed,Thanks for reading
