Hi guys,
The Nyeri previsit has been a success now that this was just the first day.
I have managed to visit four schools.

One thing I have noted different with Nyeri,all these schools have internet connection unlike the incidents in the other regions,sorry to say,and even better they all have websites.

The teachers involved have been receptive to the idea that the content that we are giving has been filtered for secondary curricular and that this would be used when the teachers would not be able to be around when students are around,on that note so far Three schools have said "yes we can" proceed.

They are;
Nyeri high School.
St. Marys Secondary school
Nyeri Baptist high.

Mt. Kenya academy senior school said they would call back after making up their mind,which to me sounded like a NO.

Cheers

Guys,
We did overlook a number of things in the Master budge like we planned for 5days yet we spent 7 days!among other things.
and we did not also budget for the pre-visit yet it cost a substantial amount.I Hope this serves as a good learning experience after all every day is a learning experience in life....

Goodluck to the Nyeri guys
