Duane and Deb

It was hot, so Duane carried his sweater on his head instead of wearing it

While I visited with Agnes, Duane and Zach came home for lunch. Duane especially loves school and is doing well in Class Four. If he finds there's nothing ready to eat at home, he immediately goes back to school because doesn't want to miss anything!

I also visited Deb at her school, where she continues to do well in Class Six. I was at the school during the students' mid-morning porridge break. They also do a little running during the break, as you can see in this brief video. It helps keep them alert in the classroom.

I chatted with Maina, the school gatekeeper and all-around great guy

By chance, I happened to visit St. Catherine's when they weren't having classes. Because that gave Robai and I an extended time to visit, she gave me a tour of the 30-acre school compound. Above are two of the gentlemen that take care of the cattle and kitchen 'shamba' (garden). Daniel (in the middle) is the farm manager and David (on the left) is one of the farmers.
