Sometimes things happen and children must leave the program - this is usually a sad occasion, but it happens and that's life. Every educational organization (and many parents all over the world) just have to accept that. Four students are leaving the Live and Learn in Kenya International program in November - and we aren't sad at all !!! Erick will be graduating from university with a B+ grade average and a Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication degree. Luciana will be graduating university with a teaching degree and will be a High School teacher. She is graduating with a B- grade average. Lydia is graduating from college with a C grade average with a degree in ECD (Early Childhood Development).. Tyson will graduate from vocational training where he learned wiring - and will now be able to find a good job.
These young adults were registered onto the Live and Learn in Kenya program when they were kindergarten kids! They came from extremely poor and desolate homes and would have, most likely ended up without any education at all and possibly on the streets. Now they are self-sufficient, well-educated people who can not only stand on their own feet - they will be passing their knowledge forward to their own children - and the generations after!
THAT is what Live and Learn in Kenya is all about - PASSING IT FORWARD. Our and we are doing everything in our power to give these children everything that they need to
