Report Date April 11, 2008

The following id the school report received for the school manager, Ezra

Dear Mike,

            How are things in America? We in Kenya are carrying on with life as it comes. The situation in our country pleacarious with the leaders pulling stings to end up with most power. There are still many internally displaced people in the upcountry regions and normally is yet to return. This has caused prices of things to go very high and access to commodities limited. All the same life goes on.

Here in the school the pupils have been coming as required with little absentism recorded. The school is closing on 11^th April but the pupils will be required to attend extra tuition for two weeks from 14^th April to 25^th April. The pupils are in a jovial mood and they send greetings.

WELL PROJECT

The well pump seized to pump adequately and thus we could not get water into the tank for a major part of March. We had to call the plumber who came and advised that the water channels had been clogged with mud so the pump had run for sometime without any water making it less efficient. The only option was to dig 3 more feet down to make sure the water level was enough and clean whatever mud had accumulated. This cost us an additional Ksh. 3,900 + Ksh. 3,000 for the plumber.

We bought another pump which is a submersible 1 H.P which cost us Ksh. 2,500. We now have resumed getting water to the school as from Saturday 5^th April.

- Morris Nzangi has gone for a scouting trip to Vuria hills from 4^th April to Tuesday 8^th April. He was eager to climb the hills which are a steep ascent. His performance is good academically but he needs to stop being overconfident because it could cause him to relax.

- Lilian and Grace Mutheu in std 7 have to pull up their socks effort wise. The performance in Exams is fair but what concerns me is class work like writing notes and being upto date with doing corrections. They show some changes which we are working on currently.

- Amos and Adrian have continued with extra tuitions which are bearing fruit. Amos is show most improvement performing his class work well. He can now react much better than at the beginning of the term.

Adrian is still slow paced with his work and improvement. He forgets easily even simple things. Would you recommend we have him looked at by a doctor? It might give us more insight as to what the problem is.

            Amos fell on Sunday while swinging at their church ground. He hurt his neck and his head but not seriously. I have given him a medical form to go to Dr. Chula to be seen.

We held a meeting with the parents on 29^th March to update things. The attendance was good only mama Adrian and mama Sharlet & Sharon did not attend. The parents know that you will be coming to visit in the course of this year. We discussed on many issues and generally we are moving forward.

Agnes’ report has not been sent except the ones I sent you last year. The mum says they are closing the school on 9^th April and will come with her report on performance for the term. 

CLASS TEACHERS’ COMMENTS
