While 3rd term has finished and the kids have gone home to be with their families, Nassir and Aid Kenya Watoto are working hard to find opportunities for growth and development to reach more deaf and hard of hearing students! Meetings this month and into next month with nonprofit and other organizations here include: base titanium, red cross, VSO, Kwale Ministry of Education, National Council for Persons with Disabilities, Kwale chairwoman for disabilities, the building contractor of new school site in Kidimu and reaching out to local communities and parents of children who are deaf! More updates to come and so much to be thankful for as we plan for the future of these deaf kids!

Finishing up 3rd term and preparing to go home for the break. We have had a full term full of struggle and triumph. We have completed class 8 exams, finished grade level exams and graduated to our next level class. We said our goodbyes as we spent the last day practicing our cooking skills, hairdressing, theatre dramas, eating good food and laughing!
Now Nassir and Aid Kenya Watoto continue the work to build the first sea and hard of hearing school in this area! We have already met with many different organizations and government branches, filled out a variety of grant opportunities and refined more proposals in our efforts! Let the work begin and please continue getting involved. You are a crucial part in changing lives every day here with your love and support!

As the term is coming to an end we find the students have really grown together this term, Kidimu continues building the dormitories at the future school site, Saumu provides the best cooking anyone could ask for, the rains have come and mango season is in full swing and we have truly become one cohesive family unit!
