We are praying for a great year for all our students and hope they will all perform well with the introduction of the new school curriculum that was introduced by the government from the 8-4-4 system.

We have had few challenges with the new students who went to Kenswed and one of the droped and went back to her former school. This was a case of indiscipline because her reasons are not concrete for the action she did. The other four I had a meeting with them on Monday 6th Feb and later with the headteacher. One of them want to go back to day school but at the same school which I explained to her the challenges of commuting daily from Kibera to Ngong and the costs implication on the parents side as KCE will not be responsible for the expenses. I hope she will change her mind on that as the principal promised to talk to her.

Here in Kenya its very hot and dry and some places are experiencing drought. We are praying for rain and some areas have started receiving rains though in very small quantity. We have power and water rationing due to the condition and things are very turf. There is also the election campaign fever and we are praying for peaceful election in August unlike the past .
