Something exciting has happened at the Kakenya Center for Excellence girls' primary school! We have finally moved into our brand new dormitory!
The Kakenya Center for Excellence students are really proud of the new dorms, and they take pride in keeping their rooms very clean. They have to clean the rooms often, as the cement floor gets dirty very quickly here in dusty Kenya. This often means mopping twice a day with rags and soapy water.

NampayoWe learned different lessons, but the one I like best is science. This subject is very interesting. I understand it well. When the teacher is in class I sit upright and listen to what the teacher is saying. We read as many books as we can. Whenever there is no teacher in class everybody is busy reading and doing some corrections.

The girls at the Kakenya Center for Excellence go out to the school's garden and crops after classes on 2-3 days a month.

The girls have a regular Physical Education class two times a week. There is even a government curriculum to guide teachers on the types of activities, sports, and skills to teach, but it is a little unrealistic and several of those sports require equipment that the average school can't afford. For example, we have a badminton racket but no badminton net, and how would we teach these girls to swim?
The girls also have some time for sports and games every day. Twice a week, they have an hour (3:10-4:00 pm) for games and sports after classes before washing up, dinner, and additional homework/prep/study time. The other three days a week, they have 40 minutes of games (like recess) after lunch (1:20-2:00 pm).
