An invitation from the Thugunui School

rs. The Head Teacher of the Thugunui School up the mountain invited me to see him. Although it is Saturday today, I found the school in session. Danson Kinyita, told me that the children have to get some extra lessons because they missed so much in the beginning of the year because of the riots. As I realized in which conditions the children have to live, I thought of the big difference to the situation in Switzerland. Here, you have wholes in the floor, windows without glass, a nearly invisible blackboard and not even every child has a notebook on his own. Nevertheless they seem to happy.
