Another of our boys; Mina Okello, has been given a scholarship by the Kenyan Government to go to University in May to do a Bachelor of Science. I am currently restructuring our Primary School and hope to get better results this year; it’s so great to be back. Our boys have started to play football and they were given some uniforms and balls by SOCKS of Canada, basically they need a bit of monetary support for transport to venues and paying for the grounds, if they could even get 100GBP a month it would be a blessing. I have bought a digital camera and will be taking lots of photos of the team and hopefully some trophies!
