Rafiki Kindergarten

James runs a facility that is aimed at pre school kids on top of the vocational school that is originally meant for adolescence who sooner or later need to work. After we visited his vocational school, there was football tournament among kindergarten kids. Although we could not attend the kindergarten to see children learning there this time, we heard the boys and the girls were excited to play football with each other. Likewise, James offers precious opportunities to those who otherwise don't have such kind of  fun activities due to the luck of education opportunity. These pictures are taken when James played with kids using baloon in the class.

What is Rafiki Project? Rafiki kindergarten was established by the Muwika Lutter Charch. Since the employment opportunities in this region is quite limited, the average of income of each house holds is around $15 per month, and some people earn less than that. Income is not adequate to provide for families members in many households, and thus they ended up giving up education for their children. This kindergarten aimed to offer basic education to as many children as possible. This will not only help eradicate the poverty but enable children to have access to the basic education.

Just got a baloon on which a picture is drawn.
