erations. The clinic has been running under a faith based organization called (Fishers of men) but due to poor management it has collapsed.

Solar water system at Maryango Primary School next to the clinic which is working within the primary school but can be channeled to the clinic too

for use. This solar system is efficient since it does not rely on electricity which sometimes may not be available. The tanks above are enough to store a

lot of water for use within the primary section and the clinic.

to ensure the health of those working in that kitchen is looked into. This smoke when its too high can affect the chest and eyes. See photo 1 and 2

The music team from Kimbilio junior Academy consisting of 60 pupils and 3 trainers who are part of the teaching staff has really done a wonderful

work. At the sub-county level they presented 8 items that's; 1) Akamba dance, 2) Baganda dance, 3) Meru dance, 4) Kisii dance , 5) Tugen dance, 6)

Meru folk, 7) Akamba folk, 8) Baganda folk. The Baganda dance and folk were the only international items they presented that's from Uganda but the

rest are from our native languages in Kenya. They became the best in all these 8 items and were granted permission to continue to County level . At the

county level, they did their best though with stiff competition from other schools they still emerged the best with all the 8 items and they proceeded to

Regional level.

At the regional level still competing with other schools, they emerged the best with 4 items that they will be presenting at the National level this coming

August from 4th to 6th in Nakuru. We have hope of this shining team from Kimbilio scooping best position at the national level to State house where

they will entertain the president.

Mikindani church of Christ sitting arrangement in the church where they have to sit closer to the centre of the church to avoid being rained on be-

cause the far ends are not yet complete, the church still needs more support to complete it and get the windows and the doors.

The upper open front wall and back side needs to be closed up to avoid direct rain into the church that makes members uncomfortable. This upper

sides of the walls could require more blocks, cement, ballast and sand to complete it for the glory of God.

Photo number 3 shows the front side door which is really in a dangerous position for now and needs urgent fix as you can see the outside ground

in too far down approximately 10 feet meaning if any person accidentaly goes or falls through it he/she might get hurt. The minister of the

church always gets someone close there to ensure no one goes through it. This door requires stairs that one can use down out of it and the door

needs to be fixed to avoid any unnecessary happening at the moment. As you can see in this photo the brothers standing at that door are from in-

side the church.

Photo number 2 and 5 shows the upper side of the walls that needs to be closed up and the main door that needs to be fixed. The church is open no

doors nor windows. Members are still worshipping God happily though with these challenges at the moment.

Photo number 6 shows the front side of the church with the main door, on the far right hand side is Changamwe church of Christ minister Elijah

Onyangore with the two brothers from Mikindani church of Christ.

The drainage system too needs to be fixed to avoid a lot of water running on the walls of the church so as to make it more durable.
