The Grace Journal is a place where Rev. Wambugu, and perhaps occasionally others of the Grace Ministries staff, will summarize the work of the day or week. We want you to feel that you are an active part of our work and our lives, and hope that this on-going journal of our activities – our joys, our sorrows, and our day-to-day work – will help to bring you more closely into our world.
God bless you for your interest and your support!

1st Week ending 9th May 2008
This was a good week it was also the first week of the term.
The children reported well on the first day and in good numbers. The parents also reported on the first day to make payments of school fees.
The children were excited to be back and see their fellow classmates and were more excited to see the dining hall. They are now glad to use it for their morning assembly as it is now less cold and the morning showers will not interfere with the assemblies.
On Tuesday one of the teachers did not turn up and we only learnt of his departure later in the day. He however did not leave us in the right way and procedure as required by the school, where one is expected to give a months notice before leaving us and handover to the office books supplied to him/her. We have followed him up and he promised to come and settle up the matter with the office. We quickly conducted another interview and we got another teacher who will join us on Monday and take up the duties.
The accounts office was also busy collecting money and making purchases for the new term. The accounts office also paid the April staff salaries to ensure that the teachers had something to enable them start the term in good way.
We finally sent out our newsletter to friends and partners it will also be available in our website please look for it to keep abreast of our work and our ongoing projects.
We have started the term on a good note and pray that it will continue this way.
Please continue to pray with us and for us for a smooth term and Gods provision to our pressing needs.
The children cleaned their classes and the week ended well.
God Bless!

WEEK ENDING 3RD MAY 2008.
The rain has subsided and it is sunny. The gardens looks great and this is a good sign for us . There has been no farming in the regions that produce most food due to the violent displacement of people during after election violence. This is no good for Kenya as famine is definite.
The Remedial teaching ended officially on Wednesday as Thursday was the Labor Day Holiday. I (Samuel) requested the grade eight if they were willing to come and we continue with them on Thursday and Friday and they agreed. I had to do 5 hours each day. I love teaching, but not when I have a very severe cold which I got on Wednesday night. I did however hold myself and we finished the week.
2ND term begins Monday and today Saturday was the day to buy the groceries for the Kitchen and stationeries. Jane and Miriam had all this taken care of and we are all set for the new term on Monday. The children will be excited to find that they now have a roofed Dinning Hall. I intend to take early morning (7am-8am) teaching God willing and giving me the strength to do so.
Our Newsletter for the period Jan- April 2008 is ready and it will be sent out next week.
Have a nice one and keep us in your prayers.
Samuel

Please know that your donation can help, not only to save the life of a child in Limuru, but to guide that life in such a way as to loosen the stranglehold of despair and death that threatens so much of Kenya's population. Thank you, in advance, for your compassionate support!
