Farewell Form 4

This week we bid farewell to the Form 4 students who are at the end of high school, a bit like Year 13. All very last minute, we discovered that unfortunately the school is not able to be registered as an exam centre. So our students had to pack up all their books, personal belongings and mattresses and travel to Laisamis where they will stay for the next month whilst they sit their KCSE (Kenyan Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. It was a sad day as these are the first students to go through the school and it will be a big upheaval for them to be in a different place as they sit these incredibly important exams. However, we know that our heavenly father, who is at the centre of the school, is in complete control and will be with the students.

In this photo you can see the truck all packed and ready to leave, with the students on top! It should have taken them a couple of hours to get there depending on what the roads are like following the rain.

We pray for the students as they sit their exams away from school and then as they await results which will determine future studies and/or employment. For many of them it’s not just their future that rests upon their exam results but also that of their extended families who will be supported financially by these students.
