Prize giving day!

For most of the regular schools in our country right now, kids are having a break from school until next month when they resume classes but for us here, we still go on with our schedule although we had a week to rest during the Easter holiday. The kids then got a day to visit their families and relatives in Eastleigh and Mathare and also those whose families live around Nairobi and they really had a good time doing that.
As we continue with our classes, we had a chance to reward some of the kids that performed well in the literacy classes and rotation from the quarterly exam that they got to do this past month. We thought it would be a good idea so that they can be enthusiastic in their studies and their daily life here at MITS. They performed very well by the way and it was fun seeing them being proud of their achievements as they got their prizes. David Mutimbi and Anthony Githinji were in position one and two respectively in literacy one. In literacy two we had Edward Muhia and Duncan Mwangi coming position one and two and in fast track class, Alex and Joseph Mburu were number one and two. For the number ones, they got a nice bed cover for their beds and number two a nice bag pack. We also rewarded the most improved students in the classes and for literacy one, it was Joseph Nderitu, literacy two it was Elizabeth Wanjiku and fast track it was Mary Muthoni. They all got a classy watch. For our most hardworking student in rotation and skills the prize went to Dennis Kamau who also got a watch and for the most hardworking student in all areas the prize went to Willis Odhiambo. The leadership prize for the month went to Sarah Aono for being our bell ringer in the past six months.she got a very nice, all glass picture frame to keep in the dorm. From this experience we can tell that it has really challenged the kids especially those in rotation and now they are putting more effort in reading and studying in their spare times and we continue to encourage them to keep on keeping on.
