Early February found us in the bush preparing to start new adult literacy classes. The ladies in the first pictures are from Iyarat. They are so excited to have the opportunity to read.
The men you see, hoped to join the class with the ladies in this village, but we told them we would have to start another class for the men in the future. We have tried, but other than these few men, we couldn't get enough together to start a class. Hopefully, the future will find us there teaching the local men also.
This is our lovely teacher. She is young, but seems very dedicated to helping these "mamas" learn.
The next week, we started two classes in a community further down the road in a place called Saikere. We began two classes there -- one for 10 men and one for 10 women. They are so excited. I brought numerous reading glasses to Kenya last fall. This is one of our male students so excited because he can see well again. What a blessing!
Helping these precious people learn to read and do simple math is a joy. So many of you have helped make this possible. We buy the materials and they pay about twenty-five cents per class time to come and learn. That twenty-five cents per student per day goes to pay the teachers. The cost of training materials for 10 students is only $200. If you want to sponsor a village, please contact me at rabquilt@yahoo.com and I'll give you the information you need to help us make a difference...one life at a time..jpg)
