"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

Older Students

Let us introduce you to our older students. Each arrive daily for school in our village. Some travel far by Matatu(van) , walking or riding a bike to get to school. One young man rides an undescribable distance up and down hills through traffic and remote areas every day. Others board near by with friends or relatives in order to be close enough to walk in . Each morning begins with devotion and bible class followed by academics until lunch. In the afternoon, Lewis enjoys overseeing the vocational arts program with the young men. They work outside with saws making puzzles that are sold through Rafiki. He works with Mr. Kagiri, a national who is gifted artistically and really cares about the students. Mr. Kagiri oversees the production of painted cards and a new line of jewelry designed by our girls. Melody teaches in the primary school but often grabs a visit with them. They are so open to hugs and embraces from her.
