Saturday School Christmas Party

This year we had the opportunity to host 115 Saturday school children for the party. It was amazing to see the commitment from our students who not only fundraised towards this event but prepared and arrived early for the occasion. The first group arrived at school at 6.00 am to start working in the kitchen. This included Nicole Kombe, Josephine Kiaga, Ttanya Sachdev, Michel Hersens, Alfred Msale, Ellen Bangu and Shreya Sachdev. They were later joined by Edgar Mwashiozya. Edgar, Josephine and Alfred decided to volunteer early in the morning to allow them join the performance practice. Well done to their dedication!

The rest of our students and staff arrived in school by 9.00 am to set up for the event. Our guests started trickling in by 8.45 am especially those from around the school. We held a general address and welcome in the hard court where the guests were divided according to their ages. The activities started at 10.00. The children were treated to several activities ranging from ball games, swimming, art and craft, and drama, The young ones had fun in bouncy castle.

By 1.00 pm all the groups were served lunch. We had the older students display the drama skills they had learnt through a skit designed to teach against peer pressure. Presents were distributed at 2.30 pm. It was time to leave.

We congratulate our parents for their donations and our students for taking their time to plan for this event and come and share their Saturday with our guests. They cooked and served the guests dutifully. We appreciate the presence of Mrs Patricia John who helped oversee the kitchen together with Mr. Edgar Weche, Mr. Mike Magambo. Ali Zeid and Mr. Ben Asugo.  Mr. Flanagan and Jackson Kaaya helped oversee the games in the field, Ms Diana Humphrey helped with the gifts wrapping, Mrs Cathie Stubbs helped with art and craft, Ms Juma and Mr, Mwaipopo helped with the performance supervision, and finally Mr. Asher Sijenyi was the master of ceremony of the event. We salute Nicole Kombe, Josephine Kiaga and Ttanya Sachdev for helping with fundraising and planning of the event. Thanks greatly!
