Solomon Oyiengo rang this morning with news from Gambogi in Western Kenya.

"Kitagwa School, the community and everyone who FolesHillfields knows are all going along well. It is the rainy season still, so it is muddy now."

Solomon is the head of Kitagwa School there, and was part of a delegation from Vihiga district which we brought over in 2009 to visit FolesHillfields, John Gulson and Sidney Stringer schools, and many other local community groups and projects.

With help from Sidney Stringer staff and students, from One Voice Choir, the Coventry Asian Blind Association and many others, the school has been going from strength to strength, and has been developing a Secondary as well as the original Primary school."

The secondary school has picked up so well. We have 60 students registered now, and although the government has yet to fund a teacher for the school, they will definitely fund one soon."

It was great to hear from him.
