Remedial update

Whilst still celebrating the success of our Happy House School candidates in the 2023 national examinations, eyes are now firmly fixed on the new academic year. ,Three weeks in, and head teacher Mr Dancun tell us how important the remedial classes continue to be. ,We were fortunate enough to secure funding from a wonderful UK donor to set up post-pandemic remedial classes to help students to catch up and consolidate learning in areas of weakness. ,Mr Jeffwa takes the older age group while Mr Nasri is responsible for the younger pupils. Being able to work in  small groups or on a one-to-one basis has proved to be very successful as our results show and it makes students much happier and more confident too. ,Safe and Sound Appeal ,We are desperately trying to raise £8,600 to meet the cost of an entire new roof for our children’s home. ,Damage done by prolonged and torrential rains late last year rendered our makuti thatched roof beyond repair and unsafe, so we are replacing it with a steel roof but have to find the money to pay for it. ,Please can you help us? ,You could arrange a fundraiser in your area. If you need us to help you with publicity etc, please email: elizabethgomm@childrenofwatamu.net ,Or you can make a donation you can do via JustGiving https://www.justgiving.com/childrenofwatamu/ or via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChildrenofWatamu ,It would be wonderful if you could let us know if you do make a donation to our Safe and Sound Appeal by sending Elizabeth the confirmation you receive so that we can thank you personally. ,We know that you will help if you can and are forever grateful ,. Every penny is much needed and greatly appreciated.
