Climbing Mountains
Posted by admin | Filed under Featured, News
Students in the preparatory class are climbing mountains. Not the low, rugged hills near their homes in the bush, but the mountains of challenge and perseverance. The monthly report from the teacher, Letion, is revealing and gives us energy and inspiration to persevere too. For example the teacher comment about Mkapa Leiyo, who makes high marks in both English and Math, is this, ” I really appreciate the effort he makes despite of walking about 7km from home to school.”
Seven kilometers? Seven?
And if he is typical, Mkapa eats only a handful of maize and a cup of milk or water each day.
This is incredibly humbling.
