There are currently 21 students in Transition Class plus two new boys who just joined the class from the streets at the end of September. The children continue to work towards returning to government primary schools at the beginning of the new school year in January. This year's class has proven to be very hard working, they are excited about returning to school and determined to work hard towards that goal.
One pupil is Diana Mbinya who joined Transition Class this year, she is eleven years old. She had been living with her mother and brother until two years a ago when her mother was imprisoned. Her Grandmother stepped in to care for them both and for a while Diana continued in primary school. Eventually the Grandmother could no longer afford the school fees and Diana was sent home from school.
Later, her Grandmother brought Diana to Turning Point and she joined transition class immediately to catch up with the schooling she missed. Diana will return to primary school in January. Diana is a dedicated student who aims to get a good job so she can help her mother, she dreams of being a Doctor.
