PRIZE GIVING DAY

PRIZE GIVING DAY

Last year, we had a few of our children who sat for their National examinations. 3 pupils sat for the Elementary Examination and four students took their High School Examination. They all performed well two of the pupils managed to get admission to National Schools and three students got enough points to enable them join public universities in the country.

In this regard, we (Rekindled Hope Orphans and Care Group) are planning to reward these students for a job well done and to give them morale so that they know they are not alone in this world to encourage them work even harder and give them hope for the future. The prize giving day will take place during Easter holidays when all of us will be able to attend. We therefore, seek your support in awarding these children and to also help them through their secondary and university education.

We believe education is the best gift/investment we can offer to them.

We are proud to report that one of orphans under our care passed his elementary/Primary national exams with flying colours and was one of the best candidates from the public schools. We are proud of the boy and at the moment hehas already recieved 2 admission letters to the some of the top high schools in the country. We hope the aspiring Doctor will have a chance to reach his dream.We hope with determination he will.

A NURSERY SCHOOL FOR OUR INCREASING NUMBER OF ORPHANS

Kenya’s current population is 38 million people. Of that 38 million, 2.7 million are young orphans. This is a very real and very sad statistic. Behind the figure of 2.7 million are the faces of innocent, suffering children who have no one to look up to and no one to care for them. All they have, somehow, is hope. The most encouraging aspect of this situation is that even in the midst of biting poverty among the residents of Sinogo village in Kenya, where most of our activities are concentrated, there are few men and women who forget about their own impoverished conditions to put a smile on the faces of 31 new orphans who just joined our program. We have found a way to come together to make young lives better.

Since these children are between the ages of 5-8 years, we managed to get an abandoned building (that also doubles as a church) to use as a nursery/pre-primary school. This has been made possible through the volunteering spirits of two local ladies who have also accepted positions to teach and take care of these orphans without a penny in return for their work. The condition of their "classroom" is not very conducive to learning and the lack of teaching materials is a daily challenge. The teachers are going to extra mile to improvise teaching materials for these kids, but we need help. One of our primary goals is to provide these kids with an adequate classroom where they can learn comfortably.

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

We have just ventured into blogspace and I hope this is a chance for us to reach the rest of the world in our efforts to rekindle the hopes of abandoned African orphans.
