TENNIS IS GAINING FAME
Since the introduction of Tennis in the school, the game has gain a lot of fame among the students.We have 11 rackets and 98 tennis balls.The students have found it quite enjoyable that they would not miss a day.In our report we had said that we have six rackets but we have 11.Soon when we have got the right field,we will be able to couch various skills and introduce the rules of Tennis.
One of the most interesting thing is to see the secondary school take keen interest in sports.This helps them a great deal.

CLASSROOM SITUATION!!!
students following lessons in class.They want to be better students as you work hard to make their life easy.
It is interesting to see how some of them cannot leave their T-shirts.It was a precious gift to them.
THIRD TERM WELL UNDER WAY
It has been a busy time in Mercy care centre for the Nursery,Primary and the Secondary School.The students are working hard as they all prepare to join the new classes in the year 2009.The school is as quet as water in a pot during normal lessons.
The class we are all praying for is the class eight that will be sitting the National examination from 10th-13th November 2008.This will be the seventh time when the school will participate in the national examination.They ask for prayers from all of you out there and if possible please send encouraging messages to them.
The Pre-unit class will be graduating to class one and they are in need of the graduating gowns to befit their class.
Finally,the class three will be graduating to upper primary at the same time.This will also be a wonderful time for them.
In secondary school, the form two will be pre-candidates from next year and they are all working very hard.In total we have 102 students in secondary school.
During the term we received a visitor from Maryland,Florida and California from the united states: Caroline James , Abigail Morrison & Bryan Snyder respectively.They were a blessing to us and were very much impressed with what we were doing.Abigail who is 64 years and a retired school psychologist invited the principal to her house in the states when she returns on Nov 3rd 2008 after her safaris in the East. But its unfortunate I will be back in Kenya. She was very impressed by the growth of the school in the slums. She had a brief visit and thought more to be done to the classrooms in the future to make them learner friendly and conducive for the kids .

THIRD TERM BEGINS ON 2ND SEPTEMBER 2008
Dear collaborators in mission,
We thank God for each day that we are able to live and always ask God that with our gift of life he may be able to give us strength and a loving heart to serve him.
His assurance to us in the book of psalms 23-your rod and staff they comfort me(paraphrased) even though i walk through the valley of death i fear not.It is this assurance that propels us to work even harder in God's vineyard.(Mercy Care Centre)
In one weeks time,the school will be resuming.We believe the children will come back rested enough to embark on the last term of the year.Teachers too will be looking forward to the new term that culminates into the end of the year.
Three meetings have been organised to try and put things in perspective.
1.STAFF MEETING.
All members of staff will be meeting on 30th september2008 to deliberate and pray for the following;
a)The Kenya certificate of primary education examination that will take place in November.We will be praying as a staff and also asking God to put it in the hearts of many to continue praying for the candidates.
b)The peace in the valley and Mercy Care Centre.At the begging of the year,we suffered a lot of psychological stress due to the post election skirmishes.We know that volatile situations are prone in the slums.But at the same time pray that the lord will give us the much needed peace.
On the other hand we pray that we shall live together as a united family.Many teachers were very much affected by what happened at the death of The late Rev.Gilbert.They will be praying for unity and deeper understanding that the work in Mercy care is to uplift the plight of needy children and not in any way to exalt an individual.
c)Collaboarators.We will be praying for our collaborators that the lord will continue to touch their hearts to pray for us and give us the much needed resources without which we cannot effectively carry out the the work of God.
d) We will be committing the children to the lord so that the lord may give them peace of Mind as they continue to work hard for their future.The lord has given them a hard task by being in Mercy Care Centre.They are looked as a role model in the larger mathare and a reflection of our work here in M CC.
e)We will pray for any future development of Mercy care Centre.Bearing in mind the Secondary school.More space is needed for them.
f) we will pray for the Principals trip to the USA from 5th of October 2008.That his journey may be an enlightenment to many that have helped and would want to help.
2.PARENTS TEACHERS MEETING 31ST AUGUST 2008
The parents and teachers meeting will aim at bringing a good working relationship between the two adults in order for them to effectively manage the child.
3.BOARD OF DIRECTORS
This will meet on 1st Sept.2008.
