Esther, MWEEP's Moi University graduate, is teaching at this school, hired by the board until she receives her diploma in Feb 2011. Then she can be a government hire. We headed north in the Rift Valley. Once we got to a spot along a large escarpment, we stopped for a "picnic"--chapati, peanut butter, liquid yogurt, bananas and sodas. This was an unusual experience for our Maasai friends.
Esther was pointing toward Ewuaso and Mt. Susua. We still had to drive down the rest of the escarpment and then along the valley to Ewuaso and further to the school. Esther is in her classroom, schedule for a day, and Esther Sein one of our scool fee recipients.
Esther was a Form 4 student so she has now completed secondary school. She will receive her marks in Feb. She wants to go to university to be a nurse. She was proud to share with us that she was the head of her dorm. This school has 4 dorms with 50 girls in each dorm. This is a fairly new school. Esther is the younger sister of Grace, the first girl Jon & I helped with school fees in 2004.
It was an amazing day for all of us. Even our driver told me later that it was one of the better driving days for him.
