Scholars Picnic & Roast Goat to Celebrate Holidays

To wrap up the December term break, CoKF staff took 19 high school scholars to Olepolos Resort for an all day picnic. Olepolos, located in Kajiado overlooking the Ngong Hills, is known for its ideal location and nyama choma, or roasted goat. CoKF ordered an entire goat to be slaughtered and roasted for the group. While the food was being prepared, the kids played football, explored the grounds, and socialized with each other. The group participated in games and activities, like egg tosses and bobbing for candies. Staff members organized get-to-know-you games to encourage group bonding and solidarity. At 2pm, the meat was served and students feasted on every part of the goat. Needless to say, we didn't have leftovers. To wrap up the day, the group stood in a circle and offered praises and encouragements to each other. We couldn't have asked for better weather, better meat, or a better group of students. Happy Holidays!

CoKF Girls Celebrate the Holidays with Mentors

The Children of Kibera Foundation's high school scholar ladies met their mentors on December 8th to kick off the holiday season. The two groups reunited at Prestige Plaza's upstairs cafeteria after three months of separation. Students shared stories and experiences of their last term in school. Mentors listened and offered advice. In the end, mentors presented their mentees with bags of holiday gifts for each girl and her family. We look forward to our next encounter with our mentors, who represent an image of female empowerment and success. We thank them for spreading holiday joy and cheer to our young CoKF ladies!
