Ms. Bain's Updates & Reflections

In Summer 2007, individual Bodwell staff and students gave 'Rafiki' Gifts - gifts from a friend to a friend - to students in Canada. The gifts were to be directed towards school supplies, uniforms, soccerballs, and/or scholarships, depending upon the desire of the student.

The money that students donated, approximately $100 per school, was enough to buy the following for EACH of the three schools:
- One football (plus we also donated 1 basketball from Mr. Burnett)
- 2 school uniform sweaters
- 20 pairs of socks (10 boys, 10 girls)
- 1 log book (a book full of tables for sin, cos, log, etc - used when scientific calculators are not available)
- One ball-point pen for each student and teacher

On September 20th 2007, the 'Rafiki Gifts' contributed by Bodwell students were distributed to Karima Secondary School Students. [note: photos of donations from other schools were lost in a computer crash so are unavailable].

Presenting the gifts was Ken Mungai, CTC representative. In the photo at the left, Mr. Osero - Principal of Maai Mahiu Secondary, Ms. Mali Bain, Mr. Francis Theuri, Rafiki Link Coordinator.
