Hi dear friend, I'm sorry for not replying on time, I have been down with Malaria.
We at Mwiyenga primary school are still embracing The five strategies of virtues through the virtues pick during staff meetings and every Monday for the Virtue of the Week. Both teachers and pupils are practising the five strategies. The benevolent kitty has helped the less fortunate and needy pupils through the famine period and has made it possible for them to stay in school. We have planted a kitchen garden that has helped us sell vegetables to the community so as to raise an extra coin that has enabled us assist the orphans without any worry. Our poultry project has also supported us care for the orphans in high schools.
We have engaged ourselves fully in the Virtues compassionate support game, with other Virtues groups headed by Madam Bibiana. So far the groups have really grown from two to nine. The frequent meetings and sharing has seen us grow both economically and psychologically. On 29th of June all the groups met at Mwiyenga primary school to support us; we are in process of starting a Rabbit project for the orphans in the school.
Teachers and pupils meet every Tuesday at 3.00pm. Kenyan time where we go through a Virtues strategy every week. We share stories showing the practice of the strategy among both teachers and pupils. This has made us united and one. We have got a new Headteacher and soon she will take a Virtues training. We have taken her through partially and she is very anxious to get the full training. She is impressed with unity and caring and compassion that is shown to the learners.
The uniqueness of the school has attracted many people from far and wide who have borrowed a leaf from Mwiyenga to change their places of work. Some have even supported us, we have started a foundation for building two classrooms, thanks to the VPIA for the good work they began and the support, it has enabled us be famous when it comes to character formation and child friendly school. The performance has kept on escalating thus attracting many people.
Can one ever forget a true friend? Never, Not us at Mwiyenga primary school, when the Virtues club is a force to reckon. We love you so much and we are grateful for the kind gesture and your generosity and compassion.
God bless everyone who gives and supports the young vulnerable and needy pupils at Mwiyenga primary school. There is a change of curriculum and teachers are being taken through the trainings of the New Curriculum so it has made us take time to train the new teachers in virtues but plans are underway.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness, mindfulness and great love. Sending lots of love.
