TWO SPORTS GROUP SEMINARS
IN KENYA JULY 2009
Kim Henderson, who is the PE and Sports Strategic Manager of the London Borough of Barnet, will be holding two more teacher / pupil sports training seminar in July in the Embu district of East Kenya.
Two years ago Kim held a residential teacher training course at the Moi Secondary school for over 100 delegates from primary schools. At the end of this very successful week, Certificates of Attendance were presented to those who had attended for the whole week. Sports equipment was given to all the delegates on their return to their schools, with a covering letter to their Head teacher stating such, so that they could impart to their pupils the training that they had received.
This time Kim is having two cluster groups at different venues. The first three day cluster will be two teachers and at least 4 pupils from six secondary schools selected to attend the seminar daily. The second cluster will be a similar seminar with six different secondary schools represented at the second venue. The venues chosen will have indoor and outdoor facilities to accommodate participation.
Kim is one of the many professionals from the UK who is willing and happy to give up her holiday period and cover her own flight expenses to freely share her expertise and skills with the Kenyans. In Kenya up until 5 years ago, all children could only attend school if their parents paid school fees and school uniforms were, and still are, compulsory. Now primary school education is free, but secondary schools are not.
Very little money, if any, is given to the schools by the government for equipment, so each time we have a teaching seminar, basic equipment is needed as teaching aids. For this training to be developed in the schools represented, extra equipment will be bought and given to each group of delegates to take back to their school. Again Certificates of Attendance will be presented.
If you wish to support this work and give a donation for sports equipment to go into other schools , then please send your gift to me and I will guarantee that every penny that is given will go to this project.
Thank You
