School and former pupil - 27th July

Morning was spent at school in Baby Classroom and office.

We wanted to check out the detail of the alterations made to the Baby Classroom roof beams, in preparation for installation of solar panels.  This needs some additional work.

Rest of the morning was spent in the office alongside Rachel, who looks after the administrative arrangements of the school.  We have known her for many years, and she is a fantastic person and good friend.

In the afternoon Josphat took us to the St Thomas Amuka Secondary School, where Naomi started in January.  Naomi is a former pupil of Aquinoe, and continues to be supported by her sponsors.  She has had physical problems including club feet, which were operated on a couple of years ago.  Naomi seems to be doing very well.

Her Grandmother has looked after her since she was very small, and we visited her home where we were treated to the most vigorous hand shake you could imagine, preceded by an almighty hand slap - and this from a seventy year old woman.  She was very appreciative of the financial support she receives, and presented us with a live chicken and a large bag of vegetables.  This is considered a great honour, so despite the fact that we have vastly more than she has, we could not possibly refuse.
