It has been a crazy few days and will continue to be so for a couple of more days. On Friday seven of the nine new Form 1’s went shopping in Tala for items such as shoes, boots, etc., the kind of stuff they needed to try on. What a thrill it was for them to actually be able to pick out their own stuff! After a few hours of shopping we met for lunch at Becky’s (yummy chips and chicken!)
After lunch it was then time to head to the doctors. While waiting a couple of the boys entertained themselves with a game on the phone.

That same day we picked up our items from Sunny Lucky…thank you Sunil for the help with these bulk items!
It was a long day for everyone but I believe the kids had a good time and they are excited to start secondary school!
Then on Saturday it was another busy day. First we met with the 4 new Form 1’s from Nice View and their guardians to discuss various schooling items and to go over our policy for secondary students (maintaining a C- or above average). Again, another excited group of kids!

The remaining 2 students were also able to finish their shopping. Then it was off to C4KK so the kids could organize, mark and pack their school boxes. They had their own mini-shopping mall right on the veranda!
This sort of catches you up. In the next few days I will update you on other situations that occurred throughout these busy days. Some sad others happy. I have to say it will be nice when this week is over because all the secondary students will be in school and things will start to settle down once again.
