Rafiki Link

Students who have been participating in Rafiki link are doing great, they have been able to send their profiles to Canada that is in Bodwell High school & Albion Heights junior school so that the students there can get to know them better.
we have received some Rafiki Link 2010 calendars from Bodwell High school that were designed out of photos that Kenyan students took last year on April during Bodwell trip, students here were very to receive those calendars and they were also very glad to see their photos & a little of their profile information appearing on those calendars. they also requested if this could be done every year.
CTC Kenya is also happy about Maai- Mahiu secondary school where we had about 40 students who came to participate during our Ubuntu day that involved cleaning up of town & installation of trash cans.
we have been updating the school blogs & you can visit our blogsites at the Rafiki main site at http://rafikilink.blogspot.com
lastly, the Rafiki Essay competition is in progress.

Focusing on the future

Economic project is still going on as Malaika Mums are working hard to make their ends meet. Believing that this is an year of commitment to learning new things. We were celebrating our 2^nd anniversary on 25^th February 2010 this year; it was a good time to recount where we have come from and to see how far God has brought us.

Still on this month we started learning how to make a pair of short/Trouser for men. As of now we are going step by step with each individual practicing to do each part by themselves.

The Mums are all excited that summer is coming quickly and they can reconnect with their friends from American Sewing guild led by Denise.

Welcome to Kenya ASG.

RIGHT TO FOOD

As we would all agree, every person has a right to food, which means that all people including those in Maai Mahiu have a right to feed themselves and their family with dignity. To fulfill this, we have to ensure that people have the knowledge, the skills, resources and opportunity to get food for themselves.

Women and children are particularly affected by the risks of environmental damage that has been done to Maai Mahiu. It is for all of us to do something to improve the situation. CTC is making efforts to empower the environmental club, women , the youth and shoshos because their right to food will ensure food security.


Our projects are running well and we are working hard to improve them so that we can effectively empower those that need us the most. Please join us in this noble task. We are soon going to bring you a clear guide as to how to get involved. Just a little could make a big difference. Stay tuned.
