Goodbye Nyandiwa

10/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Thursday was a tough day for Miss Hair - enjoying spending time with the children and staff at Nyandiwa School but also thinking about everyone at Buckingham Park as we were inspected by Ofsted.  Miss Hair would have wanted to be at Buckingham Park to contribute to the inspection but was able to send a number of encouraging text messages from Africa!

As the first week of Miss Hair's visit draws to a close, she has spent her last day at the school.  She will now visit some community projects, and also spend a short time on the Masai Mara National Reserve - it is half term, after all!

Miss Hair writes:

"Yesterday (Thursday) I took part in a ceremony giving calves and goats to communities, danced with a widows groups and were sung to by a wonderful group of orphans.

Today (Friday) is my last day at Nyandiwa. I've taught them 'Great Big God, played with balloons, led part of assembly in the sunshine and prepared for an emotional goodbye.

Emotional goodbye done. I'm a mess. We are so blessed and we have made such a difference since the start of our link. I can't express how wonderful this week has been. All at Nyandiwa say that they love all at Buckingham Park like family members and send their blessings to you all."

    About Nyandiwa

    We are privileged to be linked with a school in western Kenya, Nyandiwa Primary School. Nyandiwa is situated about 3.5 kilometres from the town of Oyugis.

    Nyandiwa School is very different to Buckingham Park, but there are many similarities too.  Nyandiwa is a large primary school with a nursery and a department for children with special educational needs.

    The link is enabled through a charity called Amani UK (www.amaniuk.org.uk). Amani UK is a registered UK charity, operating on a totally voluntary basis. With the Trustees meeting ALL expenses, overheads are nil and 100% of money donated goes to help the people of Kenya. So with that in mind, we will, where we are able, raise small amounts of funds to help our link school. 

    We will be looking into exciting ways of forging a strong partnership with our link school and developing a good friendship with the children, staff and families of Nyandiwa School.
