Dear Members,
As an update for the general Wazua family,
We made a trip to the girl's home yesterday just to see the conditions and create a rapport with the girl.
4 Wazuans attended, I had only met one of these previously in one of the Mbuzis.
We met the head teacher at Makindu town about 200km along mombasa highway at around 1 pm .He took us to the school where the girl was a candidate where we addressed class 4 to 8 pupils just to motivate them to work hard by giving them hope even where things look hopeless. After that we headed to the girl’s home which was not too far.The head teacher and the girl accompanied us .There we found the girls mother , Father and their Pastor.The pastor was more of their spokesperson.
The girl, is a tiny young shy girl and would hardly say a word all through our meeting.Just innocent smiles and head nods would tell us what could have been going through her mind, excitement and eagerness to do what we were telling her. We advised her to maintain discipline listen to her teachers and ask questions on anything she did not understand as she nodded in agreement.She promised to work hard .We are hoping that she will not disappoint us.
The home are conditions are quite desperate and squalid.It is in the middle of hard volcanic rocks with no soil to cultivate .Rains have failed in the whole region hence even menial jobs are hard to come by for the parents to provide for the family.There is only one mud house which I doubt has more than 1 room , in a family of nine (Father Mother and 7 kids).It needs a genious in the making to score 354 marks under the conditions.Yet her hopes of joining a meaningful high school were almost zero.
We thought that it was not her mistake to be born in such a family.The headteacher and the mother had attempted to apply for the girl Equity wings to fly and KCB scholarships without sucess.Thank God we have Wazua/Sk charity 'Wings to fly' her dreams are now valid.
We talked to the parents and offered to sponsor the girl throughout high school.They were very much excited and appreciated alot .They prayed for Wazuans for God to provide for them and bless them even more.
We are now working on preparing her to report to school tomorrow .Your generous contributions have turned around a rather hopeless situation.
The girl will join Mwaani Girls in Makueni county.
Thank you Wazua administration for giving light to this initiative.
I have sent invites to the new members who had requested to join the sk charitygooglegroup where there are more details.
Thank you Wazuans.
