Community Outreach in Kichangani - November 2011

With the end of the semester fast approaching, the Education for Life curriculum organizers were eager to hold one more community outreach activity before the year end. After finishing their national exams, the Form 2 Sega students paid a visit to the Kichangani Funga Funga center for the elderly and disabled. The girls carefully budgeted funds and purchased the necessary provisions to prepare a meal to serve to the residents. The day was a success! The meal was enjoyed by all and the girls made many new friends as they spent time getting to know the residents and hearing their stories. See more about the activity here.

Lifeskills and Healthy Living Curriculums - February 2012

Our Lifeskills curriculum has been an integral part of our student's education. This program addresses student's needs that are not specifically met in the classroom, aiming to nurture their social, emotional and psychological health - all while having some fun, of course! The latest installment has been the Healthy Living Club, to better focus on physical well being. Our guest, Liesbeth Kanisnew, has been offering a weekly aerobics class. The class is not only teaching the girls valuable exercise techniques but also leaving them with the skills to hold their own classes in the future. Find out more here.
