This month brings beautiful news from Victoria School in Turkana. Our friends visited the school and surprised the children with new swings and playground equipment — something they had never seen before. The laughter and excitement that filled the air that day reminded everyone how deeply small acts of kindness can touch young hearts.

We have also started using new classrooms — brighter, cooler, and more spacious. Although the number of students keeps growing and the classes remain full, every improvement is a gift we are truly thankful for. We deeply appreciate each person who contributed to the construction of the new building.

To care for the children’s health, we continue to provide them with nutritious meals twice a day, and several times a week the menu includes meat. A small school garden now provides fresh vegetables — something made possible since the school gained access to water.

Today, Victoria School is home to more than 500 students, though funding currently covers only 360. This gap is deeply felt, as parents see visible change in their children. Over the past four years, they have learned to read, write, and even help their families at home — reading medical prescriptions that their parents cannot. The impact of education is transforming the desert communities of Turkana.

Parents now send their children to school even before the official school age — not only for education, but also for care, safety, and daily nourishment. However, the growing number of students stretches the school’s resources. Food meant for 360 children is now shared among over 500.

Together, we can make sure that every child has a chance to learn, grow, and experience God’s love — both in word and in action.
