Hello From Kenya! DAY 4

Yesterday I went to a primary school in Githima.  This school is about three miles from the future site of Juanita's School.   What a great place!  The school has about 260 children from ages 3 to 8th grade.  They currently collect water off the roof of the school and then store the dirty water in containers.  Actually, this is a normal way for families to collect water here in Kenya. I am told that the biggest issue for the schools is the student to teacher ratio.  An average class size is 50 kids to 1 teacher. Most kids at the school do not eat during the day.  Many go hungy throughout the entire day.  This primary school will be one of many schools who will be able to send their graduates to our future Juanita's Highschool. The kids will be able to eat directly from the school gardens and bring excess produce back home to their families.

I will leave you today with my expereince visiting the Munyu Medical Clinic.  The most shocking thing for me was hearing how casually AIDS is mentioned during visits.  Sadly it is such a normal part of life for Kenyans that most people do not react like we would at home in the US.
