Even though this years extended school term resulted in our having to cancel the CML April Students' Camp, we were able to interact with the students by doing in-school ministry (see the "April Mission" post for details and pictures).
We offer our support and encouragement to all students as they prepare for the second term and pray that peace and stability will continue in Nyanza and throughout Kenya.
No Holiday for Schools in Nyanza Province
By Mangoa Mosota
Schools in Nyanza that were affected by post-election violence will continue with studies during the April holidays.
Provincial Director of Education, Mr Geoffrey Cherongis, said the Government had reached an agreement with head teachers on the matter.
"We have discussed the issue and agreed that learning should continue to recover lost time," said Cherongis. In January, at the height of post-election chaos, learning was paralysed in most schools in the province as teachers and students were threatened. "

Pupils and students in the region do the same examinations with others in the country. It is important that we cover the syllabus," said the PDE.
Most learning institutions in the region re-opened for the first term after Prime Minister, Mr Raila Odinga, then the ODM leader, urged supporters to stop disrupting education.
