Feb 2016 Update from Roberta

Dear friends and family, I have been back in Kenya for a month already. I had an enjoyable time in the USA over the holidays visiting with my family, friends, home church, and Hope Africa Ministries, Inc. board. But now I am back in Sakwa and have been very busy. While in the USA, I received the results of the KCPEs for our eighth graders at Hope Educational Centre. They did very well! The government schools' mean score was 180 (out of 500); the private schools' mean score was 230; and ours was 349.3!!! We call these pupils our "first fruits," because they are our first graduating class. All 20 performed very well and have received letters to join (though the family pays) good high schools. We are proud of them, the teachers, their parents, and the community of Sakwa. It is a real testimony and witness to God for his provision and testimony.

May the Lord bless and keep you, give you grace and peace, and smile upon you. Roberta
