On January 6th, all primary schools in Kenya started a new school year. So did our school. At Oasis of Hope School, the excitement is extra great because the school has now been expanded with the Junior Secondary School. This means that we will also have grades 7, 8 and 9 with us over the next years. And we are grateful that we will be able to keep them with us for another three years. Three years of food, teaching and care. We have also got new teachers, who are qualified to work at JSS. Both have worked with us before, and know the school well, which we are very grateful for.
Here you can see a picture of this year's grade 7. They are happy and proud of their school.
At the beginning of February, our school was visited by an organization that provides drinking water tanks for schools. These are small tanks with a filtration system, Lifestraw. Water can be collected directly from Lake Victoria, poured into the tank, and, voila, it is ready to drink! We received four tanks, each holding 50 liters. One tank will be enough for about 100 students. Quite impressive and very useful.
Here in Norway, the situation is quiet, without any big events. So far this year, we have had a church offering in Heggedal, and more are expected in the spring. These church offerings are of great importance to us, since prices continue to rise in Kenya at the same time as the Norwegian currency is getting weaker and weaker. We are eagerly awaiting what will happen in the spring.
