Peter Nyok’s Sudanese Students Attending Boarding School in Kenya
June 2011
Our students are in the middle of their 2nd year of private boarding school in Kenya. For the past year and a half, they have been working hard in an environment with high standards and expectations. After visiting with them last Novermber, Peter tells us that their English skills have improved greatly during their first year at this new school.
Boarding School - Sunflower Junior Academy, Kenya
From Dr. Nilsson, director of Sunflower Junior Academy, we hear the following:
“We do our very best 12 hours a day and 12 hours a night! We have a short break now, so called half term or mid-term, in connection with a weekend and after mid-term tests to give pupils and students a well deserved rest – or breathing time – rest is repair and recovery.”
Dr. Fride Nilsson, Director of Faith Homes of Kenya
In May, we enrolled our first student in high school, Abraham Kuot, one of Peter’s orphan’s, rescued from Sudan in 1996. He is attending Buyofu Secondary School in Busia district at Makutano.
