Friday was a happy day - we are always happy when we can honor someone. We went through a process of choosing students of the year and a Team member of the year. We asked students and Team members to write nominations -- not just a vote -- but to write what they appreciate about someone, how they work, the benefit MITS and the students get from this person, and so on. We received some beautiful tributes!
The end result was the choice of Ken Wabungu as male student of the year and Jackline Njoki as female student of the year.
Presentations of a certificate and a "bahasha" (means envelope, and it has cash in it) were made, and Dr. Coulston praised them and shook their hands. They were obviously pleased. The bahasha was turned over to the Administrator to be saved for when they leave Made in the Streets.
Chosen as Team member of the year for 2008 was Philip Kariuki, who is the supervisor of our literacy education program. Many wonderful praises were written about him. He was very surprised to hear his name called. He was given a certificate, a new pocket version Bible, a bahasha and a poster for his classroom entitled "Footprints".
We are very proud of our Team and our Students. Praise God for people who work well together, who desire to succeed, who honor God and are good friends.
