Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for supporting the PATHWAYS scholars. Today we want to report on the progress of fourth year scholar Justus and second year scholar Shadrack, both of whom are majoring in Education at the University of Nairobi.
Justus
I am at my home village awaiting graduation which will be in December. You recall I am graduating in Education and plan to be a teacher. I am currently teaching in a school around here just to get experience and some money for the upkeep of me and my family. Everything else here is fine too, we have received a little rain here since last week and we hope to get more.
About my project,t he table banking is moving on well and people appreciate the project. Moreover, the tutoring for the students in my village is progressing well. It was especially helpful to the students who were at home for a month following the nationwide teachers strike. Because of my project, hey had books and held classes each day and that took them along until the schools re-opened.
I appreciate your support of my project that has improved the educational and economic opportunities for young people in my village.

Shadrack
I wish to communicate the following about my project which involves teaching girls to make reusable sanitary towels so that they can not miss days at school.
I visited the patenting office of the university of Nairobi and the lab in charge of innovations in the university recently. I learned that the university has patented the innovation for us and not as the university property. That was good news.
The team dealing with the Nairobi international trade fair week will be in our campus to assess our project. We were selected to represent the University as the best innovation this year.
It has been very excited seeing our reusable sanitary towel project receive such good support during this innovation competition at the university.
Thank you for your support
Shadrack
