Tenderfeet 10th Anniversery.

Tenderfeet family gathered yesterday to celebrate its 10^th anniversary and 1^st graduation of Tenderfeet Education center. When Margaret was giving her speech to the congregation, she thanked the almighty God for sustaining them that far from when the school was young until now, the joy for this achievement was to celebrate there 10^th anniversary.

There was a lot of food and refreshments for all

18 children graduated from pre-unit to grade one. They were so proud of what they had achieved.

Both the teachers and the children are always working hard day by day and are anxious to excel in education. They also engage them in all activities areas for education. Discipline has generally been great over the past years. The guardians were encouraged to instill discipline to the children as it is one of the fundamentals towards excellence.

The school has qualified dedicated teaching staff. Tenderfeet children have been good role models wherever they go. Some are in primary and secondary school and they are performing very well. The school sources donor support from friends and well wishers to support children from vulnerable families and orphans. It also supports families in need with; food supplies, rent and pay medical attention to the children with special needs. It also provides breakfast and lunch that help the children grow healthy. Children are also provided with stationary (learning materials) to enhance smooth running.

The school has been facing many challenges like receiving threats from the City Council to close down since it is located in a residential area. Although with all challenges that they have been facing, they have been so strong in prayers and determination and God has spoken to friends who helped to purchase a plot for the school and the construction may start any time from now.

Checking on the medicines records

The picture above is when we had a conference in Uganda for one week.

The past month we had a conference in Uganda and i had a chance to attend it. This was attended by people from east Africa and had more than 30 members. It was great to go through each and every partner visoin and mission statement. The other interesting part is when we went through each and every partner like Tenderfeet and IWASSRU Books of accounts. It was wonderful to see all the work and effort they put so as to make sure that they are accounatble with all the money they get from the donor and how they use the funds. We also advised them it diffrent areas where they are not very strong at and they appreciated that very much and we hope for more improvements in future.

After the Conference we had a chance to travel to Sudan. It was wonderful to see the children that they have grown so fast in just few months. I was very much interested with the dispensary and i was so greatful that the medicine i bought the last time is still there. I bought enough medicine that could last them more that a year. i t was also great that some volunteers from the state brought some more medicine to the dispensary and they also assist at the dispensary to take care of the sick children. the omly problem they are facing is funds to pay the nurse who is fully employed to take care of the childern and the dispensary.

Tenderfeet school has been doing great the past few months. it is amazing how God is doing great things through urban outreach and other oganization like Lahash to make sure that things run well and most of the needs for the children are met. The Children appreciate very much with the education they are getting from Tenderfeet and the great support that you are giving them.

Very soon they will start building the school when the funds are available.
