Another exciting academic year is coming to an end at St Monicah's with christmas time being there main summer holiday. We are trying hard to find some new land for the school in the local area as we have to move off the current site in 2013. Land however is not in abundance. Nakuru is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa and prices for land are increasing day by day. Hopefully we will be able to find somewhere in due course.

There was a little scare at the school a few weeks ago as a couple of the older girls caught Malaria. There was an outbreak of it in the slum and unfortunately some at the school were effected. One of the girls collapsed and had to be taken to hospital which upset a lot of the younger children. Thankfully both girls have now recovered and are back at school

A new Kitchen

A few repairs

Some of the buildings at the school are getting a bit old - especially the ones that were made of mud! Again at the request of the local education authority we had to do a few repairs. The picture to the left was part of the repairs to the mud classroom.

Fundraising for 2013 - fancy a cycle ride?

After the success of this years LEJOG cycle ride we have decided to begin to plan for more cycle rides next year. One of the ideas we have is to cycle from our hometown of Bury St Edmunds to its partner town in France, Compiegne. This ride will take place from Wednesday 29th May - 1st June, returning to Bury on the 2nd.

If you would be interested in taking part in this event or any others we may be running then please get in touch.

Event being organised by Act Cycling Tours (www.actcyclingtours.co.uk), exclusively for St Monicahs.
