West Nairobi School (Our School)

We wanted to add some pictures of the school where we will be working. Quick information of the school: This school was created so that missionaries would have a school to place their children which would not only give them a quality education, but teach them according to biblical principles, values, and multiple biblical classes. In addition, the school also has the vision to reach out to the locals of the area. This is a private school so only the more affluent Kenyans attend. The parents of these children are the "movers and shakers" of Kenya. Currently, we have about 60% Kenyan student body. What is exciting about this is that we are playing a part in shaping the future of Kenya by teaching the children, who will have major roles in the government and marketplace of Kenya in the future, according to biblical truth. Shauna is playing such an incredible role!
The main building to the right is our library, with the administrative building (where I work) on the left.
These are the "bandas" where the kids and faculty have lunch. There are more to the left. We have lunch that is catered from an outside company.
These are a series of classrooms, with Shauna's being the furthest down hidden behind the trees.
In addition to this, I will still be continuing our work of evangelism and discipleship in Kasarani on Wednesdays. Upon accepting the positions of Athletic Director and Community Resource Developer, my one stipulation is that I got every Wednesday off to still work in Kasarani and they agreed. We want to thank everyone for their love and prayers!

  1. That is a nice school and the grounds are pretty and meticulously kept. Hope you are enjoying your first weeks of school and other things that keep you both busy. You said that you eat in the bandas...what is the weather like there. Hopefully, not too hot like it has been here in the Valley of the Sun. Keep the pictures and posts coming...love to hear how everything is going!

  2. Thanks Terry! This is the cold part of the year here in Kenya. Its like mid 60s in the day and 50s at night and cloudy everyday. The end of the cold season is in September when it will warm up again. Because we're like directly on the equator, the weather stays around 80's in the day and 60's at night about 9 months of the year. Its perfect.
