A day off at last!

Just relaxing after a busy week. Teacher seminars went so well and job training applicants were literally jumping up and down with joy. The fellows (no women as yet) doing driver ed (which will include motorbikes) were in Kakamega two hours early for the start of their course.
On Friday we trained three new schools for Read for the Top to start this month (one secondary and two elementary). We were truly blessed to have with us Kenyan teachers who have run the programme to share what a huge difference it has made in their schools. One school is a Virtues school and the Head Master also spoke to the group. Then the teachers did a simulation exercise which opened their eyes to what their students will encounter.

On Saturday the group forming a marketing cooperative met and elected their sponsors (who sign the legal documents) and their interim executive. Once they have completed the paper work the Department of Cooperatives will give them some more training and they can invite other producers to join. Their target is 100.
