Thika Schools/ Computers for Schools Kenya (CFSK) Shipment

We sent close to 300 computers to CFSK and about 400 hundred boxes of reading/library resources for school in Thika, a town out of Nairobi. Some local schools there, particularly those in the slum areas, literally do not have one book. We have changed that. Eleanor Harrison, who runs Action Children Kenya Direct, accepted the challenge to distribute all the books – a HUGE task. She emailed us the following update:

All the books have now been distributed (done in Jan) and I actually have thank you letters from several schools for you. as you are often here I hoped to give you them in person. They were extremely appreciative of the books and I have even seen them being used in 2 schools first hand! I ended up distributing them to several schools. These were:

Thika Primary School
St Patrick's Primary School
Garissa Road rimary School, Kiandutu Slum
Kianjau Primary, Kiandutu Slum
Umoja Primary, Umoja Slum
Gikomoro Primary (rural)
