CoKF Staff Visits Eldoret!

Over the weekend CoKF staff visited star scholar Philitricia, a Form Two student at Moi Girls Eldoret. The staff wanted to surprise Philitricia to personally congratulate her for receiving two awards, one for her performance in Physics and the other for maintaining an overall A average since she joined the school. Moi Girls Eldoret has recently earned a lot of attention having produced Kenya's top girl in the KCSE national exam, and we have high hopes for Philitricia to follow in her footsteps!Above is the prize table display and below Philitricia awaits and recieves her awards.Some talented students provided entertainment during their Prize Giving Ceremony, including the singing troop who were awarded for their performances.The visiting crew included CoKF interns Joscelyn Truitt and Jacqueline Espana, Project Coordinator Japheth Ochieng, along with our new intern Emily Davenport. Emily is looking forward to developing CoKF's most recent computer lab by working with the Lutheran Primary School's head teacher and the Springs of Life Lutheran Church community so they may access the lab. Emily learned about CoKF through our founder Ken Okoth who is in charge of her study abroad program in Dar es Salaam. Emily will be living and working in Kibera during her one month break.Above: Emily, Joscelyn, Philitricia, and Jackie enjoying some refreshments and conversation on the beautiful school grounds.The principal of Moi Girls Eldoret speaking of how proud she is of her girls and how she will continue to push them to even higher heights.
