Kisima may be only 500m from the equator, but it is also about 2,360m above sea level and can get very cold. We have had a lot of rain recently and even a couple of showers of hail! There was definitely no going on the field for games yesterday, so indoor pursuits were the order of the day!

We recently enjoyed a visit from two of our sponsors from the UK. John Baldwin and Barbara Kolator have sponsored students since our first class in 2005 but this was their first time to visit Kisima. As always, the students welcomed them with singing and dancing and were happy to have them attend some of their lessons. John and Barbara donated many books for the library and Barbara shared her love of knitting with a crowd of interested students. Trips out and about included seeing the school farm and visiting a student’s home in the neighbourhood. Their two current sponsored students were especially happy to meet them, but we all enjoyed their time with us and thank them for all their support.
