Om programmet

Grade 5 is a class of 10 to 15 in number from vulnerable families.They range between 11-13 years of age and are a mixed class.They have text books and a blackboard to write on.

The teacher needs time to do lesson plan so as to understand what is going on and be able to teach.They have break in between and the class lesson lasts for 45 minutes before another lesson or subject is taught.The break is between 5- 10 minutes to allow another lesson.

The subjects taught are English,Composition  which deals with knowing how to bring our ideas in a topic or subject in English.It allows a kid to be constructive and better off the English.Then we have Mathematics, social studies, Science, Christian Religious Education,S wahili and Composition in Swahili which is Insha.

The most kids found in the street are those between 11-13 years because they require a lot of attention and love.Our social program protects the kids from loitering in the streets instead we pick them from the streets to a class room.

We  secure the lives o such kids from a hurting  one to that with hope.We enroll the children and give them the uniform, food, shoes, writing material and a room in the classroom. Most of the food the kids eat at the school is the only one they would have for the whole day.We offer uniform to make all kids look uniform for some do not have any cloth to use at school.Some have tone clothes and no shoes to wear.So uniformity puts all the kids into one  category.

I give volunteers all the support when they would love to volunteer for example orientation at the teaching level,making a class lesson,presenting a lesson in class.The teachers on the ground are four who also guide the volunteers in the work they have applied to do.

Grade 5  have class work and homework to take home and bring for marking the next day.

We mark the bookes in class work  by ticking the things they have gotten right and those wrong we cross them then rate the work like 8 /10  or 5/10 depending on the number of the work given.

We also comment like good, very good, excellent, Fair or try again. Where the pupil has failed we write do corrections .Corrections allow the pupil to remember where he or she went wrong and correct another time .

By 3;30p.m the class ends.

Fritidsaktiviteter

Free time is  basically from Saturday and Sunday. But is a volunteer wants to go on safari then we can arrange with the volunteer on days available for the safari depending on when the touring company has allocated the volunteer time for the safari.

Otherwise from Monday to Friday is very busy days and very tiring because it involves the kids.They have the energy to play and take a lot of energy from those who teach them. In case volunteers what to do something after the school they normally can shop from the supermarket around,or take coffee as they relax in a nearby shopping center. We orientate the volunteer on the arrival day to be familiar with the market places,shopping malls and supermarket where to buy his or her personal items.

Most volunteers after school take time on computers to write what they have done within the day and also to communicate on social media with their friends and families and Skype.

On weekends the volunteers  chose to go for safari which is three days two nights.Mostly it is at Amboseli,Masai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru. At Naivasha they go to hells gate,Others go to magadi soda.We also have Mt.Kenya Trekking and the equator.
Those who would love a better relaxed place they go to Mombasa at the beach.
We also have the animal elephant orphanage,the giraffe center and the museum.
