Welcome to Maai Mahiu Secondary School!

Welcome to Maai Mahiu Secondary School! Our school was established in 1998 by the parents of the neighboring primary school. From humble beginnings, it has grown into a large and thriving school. Our school has 6 classrooms, a computer lab, and a science lab. Currently we have over 500 students enrolled in Form 1 to 4 (grades 9 through 12), and we are planning to separate into two schools - a boys' school and a girls' school. On this blog you will find posts from Maai Mahiu Secondary School and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!

Rafiki calendars

We have been able to receive copies of Rafiki link calendars from Canada which were designed using photos that students took during the Bodwell trip last year on April when Kenyan students and Canadian students spent sometime together here in Kenya.

Kenyan students were given disposable cameras where they went and took their favorite photos in their homes/ villages which appeared in our Rafiki 2010 calendar. Students who appeared in the calendars were very happy to see themselves appearing in those calendars, others who did not appear were requesting if they could appear in the 2011 calendars. The school administration was also very much appreciative and they commented that this is a very great way of motivating students.

Some of the students who appeared on the calendars have already graduated from high school and we are very sure that they would love to see those calendars, the few calendars that we had went to the students who are already in school and some to the administration.

School is very much thankful for all the efforts that Canada put towards the success of Rafiki Link.

Comfort the Children International (CTC) was also very much thankful for Maai- Mahiu secondary showing interest in what CTC is doing for the community of Maai- Mahiu, we had about forty students who attended ubuntu day which was cleaning up of town and this showed a very good example to people on how they are supposed to keep their environment clean.

CTC also awarded a certificate of participation in this great day's event.

Updates.

Maai- Mahiu secondary Rafiki Link club students have been able to send their profiles to Canada so that they can familiarize themselves with students in Canada where they are also hoping to get Canadian's students profiles. They have also been very excited to know how to send emails and we are glad that Bodwell students are responding to our blog posts. some students from Science club who have been carrying out projects research had also had a chance to do the research using google which was very helpful to them, they are continuing getting to learn about the technology that we have.

Mwaniki and the teacher who co-ordinates Rafiki link in school had a meeting and we are starting on History Essay writing competition this month which is going to involve the whole school for those who will be interested in participating.
We will keep you posted on what is going on.
