First Work Day at Nakeel

Many changes at VICODEC...New classrooms! These new classrooms will allow VICODEC kids to continue their education there through the third grade. Giving the VICODEC kids more time to prepare for public schools.

Barb is preparing for minor surgeries at the clinic.

 Today is considered Easter Monday in Kenya and is a holiday. We still had many parents, children and teachers helping us prepare the classrooms for cleaning and painting. All the desks were removed from the classrooms. The classrooms were swept and the floors and walls washed.
These are some of the students that assisted with all the work of the day. They were very helpful and grateful for the attention to their classroom.

Taking a break from cleaning...Alison, Barb and Michelle.

Lunch today was provided by U.S. Venture...bread and soda.
More changes at VICODEC...a new adult training center was built to make room for additional classrooms for the children.

The day ended with a walk through Kware. Meeting lots of small children that ask constantly "how are you?" Tomorrow will start early at Nakeel with painting and more cleaning!

  1. For those who can't read the document Barb is holding, it's a surgical procedure for circumcision. It was painful for me just to scan and print this chapter from her pediatric surgery book. Yow!
