Yesterday we had our last prayer services for the primary schools. We visited two schools one only a few kilometers from Atemo and the other about 10 km away. It is so amazing to see these students and the conditions that are so different than the states. Classrooms usually have anywhere from 30 to 50 students in a room the size the average living room in the U.S. Usually there are three students to a desk which is wide enough for two students and are simple wooden benches. Yet they work hard and do their best even though the conditions are not the best.
It was humbling to go to these public schools which are sponsored by the ELCK and pray for these students as they take their exams. The discussions with the Kenyans about how the U.S. public schools and these here in regard to being able to pray for the students often makes them wonder about the future of the U.S.
