School Lunch Programme Mbogo Primary

Category: Community, Education | Date: Jun 11 2009 | By: monicanjeri

Mbogo Primary School is located right in the middle of Soysambu Conservancy and most of the pupils have to walk a long distance, up to two hours, to school everyday with nothing to eat at lunchtime. To help the children, Soysambu Conservancy has started a school lunch programme that now provides hot porridge for all the pupils.

Sarah and Monics Soysambu Conservancy Staff, Sarah Omusula and Monica Njeri supervise the lunch programme.

Thanks to the well wishers who have donated money to this feeding program for Mbogo Primary School,we still hope the program will continue as this has created smiles on the faces of this lovely kids and the attendance to school is regular..
It has also saved the time and energy for the children.

I loved my time at Soysambu and especially with the children of Mbogo Primary School. This is a clip of my time there.

They are an inspiration and put the children in the western privileged world to shame. They are all desperate to learn and better their lives, it was a truly magical time surrounded by smiling happy people and I cant wait to go back!
