The Happy House school is buzzing with activity now the holidays are over and everyone is back in class and eager to learn.
We have an influx of new day pupil whose parents are so impressed with the teaching methods Sue has introduced and the rapid progress of our pupils, that they are paying fees to send their children to our school.
This helps underpin our costs and eventually, when the school is bringing in sufficient income, will allow us to bring in children from some of the impoverished families in the community for free lessons - giving them an education and improving their chances in life.
Our pictures show volunteer Coral Blackhurst "Aunty Coral" to the kids helping out in the baby class where she's being such a wonderful support, and of some of our older children in their classrooms.
Sock it to 'em!
People often ask if there is anything we need for our kids and, of course, with a big and growing family there is always a shortage of one thing or another.
At the moment we are desperate for white ankle socks for all the children to wear for school - we also need black pumps and black school shoes. All are needed in all sizes to fit children from two to 15.
If you would like to send a parcel, and we would be so grateful, the address is Sue Hayward's Happy House, PO Box 796, Watamu, Kenya, East Africa.
Even a couple of pairs of socks would be a help.
Thank you.
