Last week I had the privilege of being in Kenya to celebrate the graduation of our 62 students who completed grade 8. Compulsory education ends at grade 8. All students take a big national exam that will determine if and where they can attend high school. All high schools are tuition based and most students in the communities that our schools are in are not able to afford to go on to high school. It was our joy to celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to what is next for them.
28 Graduates from Crossroads Academy, Vipingo
34 Graduates from New Life Academy, Bomani
One of the fun things we do to celebrate with our graduates is to take them to the mall. For almost all of them, it is a brand new experience. They ride the escalator, look in the shops and learn how to make pizza.
Many of these precious young people asked me to thank all of you at Fox River for your support and sponsorship through the years. Because of your giving, they have received a great Christian education that has opened amazing doors for their future. Many of the students have sponsors that have generously agreed to sponsor their student through high school so that they can go to our partner Christian high school. They are so grateful! Thank you!!
We are excited about the future for each one of our 62 graduates. Will you pray with me that God will continue to bless them in each step of their journey?
