Am happy to inform you that some kids from Huruma group have been given responsibilities due to their high discipline and their capabilities. In the year 2010 we have :

1. Kenneth K. M. (grade 7) as a school head boy
2. Margaret N. (grade 7) as a school head girl
3. Charles N. (grade 6) as a school bell ringer
4.  Kittim M. (grade 1) as a class prefect

To me those were good news as they were announced while we were in the church service yesterday and they were prayed for as leaders in the Tenri community. It was the same day I was made to understand that Huruma Kids are the most well behaved kids in the school.

Greetings from Tenri Community here in Embu.  It is my hope you are doing well this New Year.  We want to thank you for your continous support towards the education of all the children under the Huruma Rescue Mission.

I am happy to note that this being the second year of working with Huruma Children I have noted a lot of positive growth in all of them.  Remember, when they came early January last year, all of them had problems in communicating as well as good grooming.  It is encouraging to note that currently you cannot tell the difference between the HURUMA children and other children from financially endowed family…. It is the joy of every teacher when you see that, the daily effort and commitment from all stakeholders is changing the young ones attitude towards life.  We look forward to even more promising growth this year.

Last year, our school did quite well in the KCPE exams registering a mean score of 347.80.  The school was ranked number 5 out of over 200 schools in larger Embu District.  Our school is young because this is the third time it was posting candidates for KCPE but the ambitions and target are very high.  We look forward to bettering these results with our current STD 8.class.

Thanks for your support and concern last year as we look forward to the same in the new academic year 2010.
