Otterbein students to visit Huruma children; Operation Education underway

In November and December, two students from Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio will be visiting Kenya to work with the Huruma children.  In preparation for their trip, the students plan to organize a book drive for the children when they return to the Otterbein campus in the fall.

The books the Otterbein students collect are needed more urgently than ever with an increasing fail-rate among the students at Tenri school.   Last year, only two out of fifty students in grade 8 passed exams required to attend high school.  Huruma Director Aloys Kamwithi comments on the necessity of the Operation: Education program, “with this library project, Huruma is trying to help save the village from ‘imminent’ educational death.”
