Meet some of our friends















Last March I ran a Virtues training session for an group in Nairobi that does a lot of organizational development. They are offering a Youth Leadership conference in December and were good enough to give me an application extension so three of the boys we support could apply. Here is a picture of Wilson and Eric at Chavakali High School with one of their teachers. The first test of their initiative will be if they send in a letter on time.





After Christmas last year we handed over the computer school we had run for five years to Vincent. Vincent was one of our first students, became an instructor and did technician training. He opened his own business in computer repair and accessories and was delighted to take over the school. I must confess we were a little anxious whether it would survive in hard times, but it is holding its own, has expanded packages and is receiving students. Vincent is a happy camper and an invaluable resource for us in the town. Here is Vincent at the top of the page with his neat classroom.
