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.
It continueD December 2008. During the 2009 school year some of the MWEEP women met with the girls during their April and August break.

Koi was asked and volunteered to return in April 2010 with a 2 day workshop that was held in the Oloshoibor community at their conference site SeuSeu. She again brought along her mother and a friend. MWEEP USA and Kenya facilitated this meeting. It was called a Career Retreat where she gave the girls information about their strenghts and avenues for Career Planning as it pertained to their education.
One of the highlights was to give each girl a book of her own. Four of the girls had never owned their own book. At Koi's recommendation "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho was given to each girl withthe idea that in August they would have a "book group" discussion. A few extras were left in the MWEEP Kenya office to start a library.
