Health: He has not had any health problem while in school. When schools closed I took him home. He will spend the holiday at home with the other siblings.

GIANCHERE SCHOOL

7 pupils sat for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education.

The main reason why we wanted the resource center to be relocate to town is because we have many youth in the south side of Kisii town and its environ and are to able to come to the resource center due to transport cost. We want all the deaf youth to be able come to the resource center.
