Talking to pupils of different primary schools in Vitengeni zone with Sheila Mutuku. Most pupils have no good reason to be in school. They have no dreams and have not known the importance of going to school. They haven't known the importance of education in this society which NEEDS EDUCATION MOST. In these talks, I together with Sheila Mutuku explain to them how important education is in positively changing our lives in Kilifi. As I speak to them, I realize how much they lacked such talks.

EDUCATION is what will enrich my community. EDUCATION is what will e...
