New Teachers at Idigima

When we returned to Idigima Secondary School in September 2011, we found that many of the teachers had returned to the universities or taken other jobs. We haven't focused too much on the national teachers in the past, so thought it would be good to start doing so from time to time.


This year was special in that four Form IV graduates were hired to help us with the growing Pre-Form classes. Mwamini and Enitha, pictured here with Joanne, are teaching Pre-Form I-B math and English, respectively. I enjoyed Mwamini as one of my top Bible Knowledge students, and Enitha was our Swahili language helper during our first years. She also helped around the house for living expenses.

Justin (pink shirt) is helping Gary's Pre-Form I-C class with math, and Stan (green shirt) is working with Joanne for math skills among the Form I-A class.












Stan is an orphan we helped along the way and was the top student at Idigima while a student. Justin served as the Head Prefect (student president).


Also pictured are a couple of university students: Pendo and Agata.


Agata (Cowboys t-shirt) loves to dance and sing, hardly ever standing still.














Pendo (peach jacket) teaches Swahili, and Agata teaches Civics.


Sharing the love of Christ through education,
