Students in class two review a homework
assignment with Iftin teacher Farhiya Rage.
The IFTIN Women's Literacy Project has grown from three to four daily classes. Presently there are 77 students and new arrivals joining daily. While students are very thankful for the opportunity to learn and improve their lives, a common concern among them has been an increased insecurity and police harassment as the Kenyan government cracks down on Somali refugees living outside the refugee camps. In the past month over 800 Somalis have been arrested and deported from Nairobi. Please continue pray for peace among the Somali people and for the Iftin members.
Recess at the Eastleigh Community Centre's Kindergarten program
The children in Eastleigh seem very happy as water is finally flowing once again in Eastleigh, as well as much of Kenya. One notable difference has been the appearance of the beautiful rich colours of fruit and vegetables for sale on the streets of Eastleigh.
Children learning about gardening took it upon themselves today to start their own seed bed. Using some seeds from a teacher, they prepared some soil and gathered some water. "We are farmers!" one of the girls proudly proclaimed.
We can never be too young to learn about food security!
