The children are also taught about hygiene and are involved in life skills like washing their uniform, handkerchief, and cooking. They also have library sessions every wednesday, we have mentors who assist them in reading the story books.
The older children enjoy drama, art, fashion, dancing and debate. They are also encouraged to participate in activities which they like. Most of the children are shy but with time they gain confidence and their self esteem grows. The older children are involved more in community work and we have sessions where they are trained on issues like: drug abuse, early pregnancy, career choice, relationships, life skills e.t.c. They get to choose topics for discussion and they also get to go for exchange programmes in the centres in Kibera.
Every friday is a sports day for all the children. Children who are good in football and volley ball are encouraged to participate during games.
