Ngeya Primary School: February 2011

Welcome to Ngeya Primary School

Ngeya Primary School was started in 1989 with only 184 pupils. In recent years, the population has greatly increased due to the introduction of Free Primary Education in 2003, internal displacement after the elections of 2002 and 2007, and population growth in Maai Mahiu town.

Currently the population stands at 1700 students with 300 desks, 18 classrooms (most unfinished), and 12 teachers. The school has a lunch feeding program provided by Kenya Kids Can. The classrooms have no electricity, and currently there are no computers at the school. This blog is updated from Kenya by Ngeya Primary students working on two donated laptops which are brough into the school twice per week by CTC Rafiki Link educators.

On this blog you will find posts from Ngeya Primary school and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!

Going on with Rafiki

Rafiki is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to us here at Ngeya.
Last week we had an amazing skype debate with Bannockburn discussing on Global neutrality.
Bannockburn was presenting their speeches while we were asking some questions.

Through this motion we learnt much about the pros and cons if US became globally neutral.and for the first time we were able to see our friends through skype video. We also saw snow(quite amazing) because our area is very dusty and windy.

Thank you David and Sine for the presentations(we hope we have the names right). It was nice meeting you all.Lets keep Rafiki going.

that's us right there before the skype debate with Miss Martha

and here we are again with Miss Rebecca!
