Exit Students Update

Its hard to imagine that we have once again come to the end of another year. Time has flown so fast, it feels like just the other day we just started the year, making our goals as usual. Other than that, it has been a good opportunity to work with such a promising group of students in the exit stage, who have showed commitment to what we both set out this year for them.

This is an update of students in the exit stage:

1. Moses Kung'u :- Finished his attachment this year and was able to get a good job in a restaurant in town as waiter. currently .He is living in Baba Ndogo(a suburb located within Nairobi city).

2. Mary Wanjiku: - Finished her attachment this year too and got a job in a small bakery where it did not work out for her, later opted to open a small business with some of the savings she had saved selling second hand clothing. (we learnt that she was re-called to her previous place of employment, that is the bakery)

3. Susan Wambui:- Graduating this November 2009 from Lo-real college, ready to hit the job market in 2010.

4. Joseph Mburu:- Got a job downtown in shop called Ibrahims eEectronics, dealing in computers sales and other electronic devices. He is ready to move out and look for a place in December 2009.

5.Francis Cugia: - Just finished his attachment in woodworking company called Rosewood furniture and has a job offer in the sister company of Rosewood. He is however having problems getting an identity card which means he has to wait before he can enjoy having a job until he gets the card.

7. Joseph Wambua and Joseph Wahome: - They both have just finished their attachments in 4 wheelers and Down town respectively the next step is to get him into the job market.

9.Grace Wahu, Brenda Odhiambo and Mercy Wanja:- enjoying their
attachments in restaurants downtown. They all are learning that working is also challenging and interesting at the same time. Hope to finish in December. This month they are doing their final exams in the MITS catering school.
