NATIONAL MUSEUM!!!!

Recently the kindergarden went to National museum ie (Baby class, Nursary,Pre-unit) and Class one class two and class three.They enjoyed to the maximum and will live to remember that.This rear treatment was specifically made as a follow up to what one friend(Meagan from USA) had started three years ago.Thank you all for making this possible.

OUR CHOIRS ARE GOING TO THE NATIONALS!!!!`

These needy yet talented children from Mercy Care Centre have received God's favour and made it through the preliminaries to represent Nairobi province at the National level.The National level will take place from 6th - 15th August in Kakamega town.

Kakamega town is found in western part of the country near the shores of the second largest fresh water lake called Lake Victoria.The journey takes 10 hours from Nairobi.The main means of transport is by Bus as there is no train that goes there.Once again we will have our matresses to cushion us against the rough floor.We have been given a choice of spending a night in a church and or a classroom.

Kakamega Town is Malaria prone and we thank our friends for carrying several mosquito nets.They will come in handy.The main stable food is "UGALI"eaten with stew .

GREAT FRIENDS!!!

In the month of June and early days of July we had wonderful friends from Australia,USA,Tanzania and Zambia.
They brought their love and encoragement to the needy children in Mercy Care Centre.
It was a great blessing to us to see a team of dedicated soldiers of christ to come and follow the footsteps of Christ-Being mindful of the needy in society.In the one month they were in MCC they were like a well oiled engine to the blessing of each child in Mercy Care Centre.
May the lord bless them in their station of work and may the seed that they have planted grow into a huge tree(touch many heart to come to mercy care centre)

Students from BLAIR ACADEMY in new Jersey visited Mercy CAre Centre and had a wonderful day with them.They used a whole day in the sports field with the high school students.We would like to thank their teachers-Quint Clarke,

Andrew Sykes and Monie Handwick for leading the team of 17 students to MCC.Further to the visit,they were able to donate soccerballs,Tennis rackets,volleyballs and their precious time to mingle and play with us.

ONE MORE TROPHY!!!!!

In the recent "Peace -Amani" competition,Mercy care Primary school emerged top of all colleges,high schools and churches.The competition was centered on how to bring peace in the valley.We thought that education was one strong tool of embracing all and bringing peace in the valley.The Guest of honour was the Permanent Secretary Mininistry Gender ,sports and Social services.This is another way that the lord has spoken to us.

HOLLIDAY AND SATURDAY MEAL

The diet our students have during the holiday is a mixture of Potatoes,cabbage ,carrots ,onions and fats.

This diet is provided during recess time in April,August and December.This way we ensure that the students health is maintained.The biggest challenge is how to peel potatoes for over six hundred students using a kitchen knife.The kitchen staff have fun during this time.

NATIONAL DRAMA FESTIVAL

It was one long but great week out there in Kisumu Town.Six hours drive

from Nairobi.The Drama group had qualified to take part in the national competition as representatives of Nairobi Province.There are eight provinces in Kenya and each province produces two items in each category.
Mercy care centre took part in the drama dance category.The experince gained by the students in those two weeks was enoumous and they will live to remember this for a very long time.
We also took time to visit the museum and the second fresh water lake in the world.
Thank you all for making this possible once again.
