By Inverness County Cares. On January 18, In Uncategorized. Representatives of both organizations have met twice to plan and develop our partnership and provide maximum benefits for SCLS. In addition ICC member, Rev. While in Kenya, Betty Jane and Fr. Duncan participated in a school evaluation day with representatives of Chalice and SCLS with a vision of future development. SCLS received a monthly budget from ICC and Chalice to cover simple and healthy food and nutrition for the students and provide much needed new toilets and wash areas and upgrade older ones.
We are thankful to the Brothers of St. Charles Lwanga who constructed a new chapel for the SCL students on the school grounds.
His funeral expenses were taken care of by our two organizations. Forty-three students graduated from SCLS and three merited Kenyan government scholarships to continue with university studies.
In addition to our regular fundraising, sufficient funding was acquired to purchase five acres of land for this property. ICC has developed its own website invernesscountycares. On January 16, My name is Athman Shee a students at St. Charles Lwanga children Centre. Allow me to share how Christmas celebrations are conducted in Kenya and most especially in our school. The day is highly valued here in Kenya as Christians spend their nights in churches and worship places, waiting for this moment.
Christmas is very important day and people do a lot of decorations mostly in churches, but also in homes, shopping centres, supermarkets and some commodities have labels on them to wish people merry Christmas. The Santa Claus tradition is not common in Kenya, instead people concentrate on family gatherings and celebration the birth of Christ. A typical Kenyan family celebrates the Christmas day, by going to mass.
