Meet Clinton: One step at a time

By Philip Mugweru | Blogger

It is always exciting A jovial Clinton in one of the school's activitiesto see a child who has been supported by Turning Point for several years reach a key milestone. Meet Clinton, who came from the streets and returned to school through Turning Point's Transition Programme years ago. After eight years of attending primary school, Clinton has finally cleared his class eight education, the final level of the Kenyan primary education system.

Clinton is an example of many children whose lives have been changed by Turning Point's Transition Class. Awaiting his exam results in early 2015, the always joyful Clinton cannot hide his joy as he awaits admission into secondary school to pursue his dreams further.

Born to a large family where the father was largely absent, Clinton had no place to go for help. In the absence of a responsible father, his mother had to take care of him and his siblings. Clinton had not formerly entered a classroom until his mother heard of Turning Point from a friend.

At Turning Point, Clinton found a class where he could learn, and above all, a family that genuinely loved and appreciated him. Clinton could now continue with education without worrying about school fees which was fully catered for by the trust.

Clinton, a jovial playful boy enjoys camping, swimming and playing football with his friends. He also enjoys making new friends.
