Many of the high school boys who attend the Missions of Hope Joska
boarding school near Nairobi, Kenya, are returning to the campus
following the fire last week that burned their dorm to the ground.
CMF Executive Director Doug Priest reports that the returnees are staying in some rooms that were under construction for science labs and a computer room. About 20 boys returned yesterday and more are expected today.
“One interesting thing was that the Mathare boys said, ‘We don’t care if there are no beds. We want to go back and we will sleep on the floor,’ ” said Doug. “Some of the boys were even going through the rubble to see if any of the metal bunk beds, or parts of the beds, could be salvaged.”
Missions of Hope is beginning immediately to construct a fence around the school with the first of the rebuilding funds that were donated.
“The Ministry of Education is insistent about the need for a fence,” said Doug. “The purpose of the fence is to remind the students that if they are outside the perimeter, they are beyond the school boundaries. We are so grateful for the immediate (financial) responses to this emergency and for the ongoing prayers for the school and students.”
