Dear all,
Boasting of a long list of former students who have excelled in many
Professional fields. My career in education started over 30yrs ago. I
vave served in Ukuu, Gitijiwe, Ntemwene, Kathera and Kigane
Primary Schools. Of all these schools I leave my accomplishments in
education for the credit I carried with me when we pioneered as
teachers in the very first Methodist Church boarding primary school
in the country, The Wesley Boarding Primary School
.
From the scratch, a school was founded and became an instant hit. This way I toyed with
the idea of a reality of founding a private school.
I always wish this idea was actualized earlier than 2001 when Uruku academy was
founded. Today the school boasts of collage graduates settled in well paying careers
and graduates an average of 25 students to high school every year. It is a mixed day
and boarding school that is immensity growing by impacting positively on the emotional,
spiritual, psychological and healthy physical development.
The school has also seen pupils from poor backgrounds be educated through well
wishers. Girls rescued from early marriages from as far as Samburu have realized their
education dream at Uruku thanks to well wishers and sponsors from around the globe.
Kids from abused backgrounds having realized their dream here through assurance of
their safety and those of their own mother’s that I counsel and elevate. Having acquired
my education from miraculous circumstances of a society whose people never thought
education was meant for girls, my passion for giving back only grew. I continue to give
back in a special way to girls and boys from poor back grounds. Education is the best
way of enabling a society to be self reliant and grow. Teaching a man to fish is overly
better than giving the said man a fish. Thank you all for enabling us be where we are
today and may Our Lords blessings be upon us all now and always.
Thank you all.
