We hope this message finds you and your families well. The world has certainly changed, and we are feeling it in Kenya too. Many of you have asked what is happening here, and we are so thankful for your care and your prayers.
While Kenya so far has only a small number of coronavirus cases compared to other countries and there are no reported cases in our region, the Kenyan government is being proactive and ordered all schools in the country to close. As you know, many of our children get most or all of their meals at our school - so our biggest concern has been ensuring that they still have food to eat. While we are not holding classes for an indefinite period of time, we are continuing to provide meals to our students. We are so grateful to be able to do this, and the children are grateful too! Thank you!
Please know that our hearts are with you all through this shared experience.
We are preparing Heritage graduates for successful futures!!
Our recent high school graduates just completed a computer class through the Kenya Institute of Management. When asked what they thought about the class, the students said “WOW!” They loved learning computer skills! Nixon, the KIM teacher, presented certificates to the students and a mug to symbolize Heritage Secondary School’s partnership with KIM. He will return to speak to current students about career opportunities. We are so thankful to a VPA donor for making this program possible!
Cabbage!! We have cabbage!! Our first harvest from the greenhouse and irrigated land. We have plenty of cabbage to feed our 1,000+ students at the elementary and high schools, and we are thankful!
We have been celebrating at Heritage Secondary School! On February 2, our very first class graduated from high school. Many of these students have been with us since preschool, and we are so proud of the young men and women they have become and are overjoyed as they begin the next phase of their lives. The graduation was a huge community celebration, and we are forever thankful for all the support these students have received to get them to this incredible milestone.
