Let's take a tour at Derrick's school

Derrick with his classmate and good friend, Marvin

Linet and I traveled to visit Derrick at his school

School motto: Strive to excel

Blackboard instruction

Because we visited on a Saturday, there were no classes in session


This dormitory burned down earlier in the school year.
Sadly, this is a common occurrence throughout Kenya.
Fortunately no one was hurt, as Derrick helped to arouse the others.

Nice surrounding landscapes

We hope you enjoyed the tour!

It was a tiring 14-hour day for me, but meant so much to Derrick, who
finishes his Form Three, junior year, this week. I'm glad we went!

Robai was very happy with our visit at St. Catherine's Secondary
School, where she's finishing her Form Two (sophomore year).

Margaret and I briefly visited with the principal and deputy principal.
Robai then joined us as we chatted at length with one of her teachers
concerning her remaining two years of secondary school.
