Lesson time

​​

Today, we are joining classes one and two  as they prepare to start a lesson with Madam Naomi.

The children are being home schooled at Happy House so Madam Naomi, their teacher,  is in school and and is joining them via Zoom.

As Mama Sue tells us, these youngsters have come on in leaps and bounds whilst being home school, with their imaginations fired by the methods we have introduced to use the full power of the internet to enhance their classes.

Their performance and their behaviour is better than ever - so it's a win, win, all round.

Song for Sunday

Sunday is a day to relax and recharge your batteries ready for the coming week. And to help you start your day with a smile some of our children from Happy House have a song for you.

Game of rounders

Our Happy House kids are very good at getting themselves organised. They love sport and soon get teams sorted out for any game. In this video Natasha tells us about their game of rounders.

Lesson in keyboard skills

Some of our younger children are getting an introduction to keyboard skills. At Happy House we know that having good computer skills will give our children a head start. Today our video shows Michael giving them a lesson.

Busy boys

Some of our older boys have been busy giving the wicker furniture in our round banda at Happy House a new look. As you know, they enjoy helping around their home and there are always volunteers for every job. So there was no hesitation when Mama Sue asked if anyone would like to do some painting. Here John tells us what they are up to.

Update from Mama Sue

Life is so busy for our amazing Mama Sue at Happy House - she rarely has time to stop and catch her breath.

The last few months have been even more hectic than usual with all 60 children at home since lockdown started in March, Covid19 controls to keep in place, home education to organise plus the already full-time job of running the Happy House.

Today she is bringing us right up to date on news from the family and talks a little about the effect that the pandemic is having on our community in Watamu, where almost everyone depends on tourism for a living.

Sausages and lollipops!

It is such a pleasure for sponsors to see their child doing well in school . Morphin, one of Auntie Libby's sponsor children, has done so well this term he has come second in his class in the exam results. He's struggled a bit in the past but increasing the use of the internet and technology in delivering lessons seem to be just what he needed to fire his imagination. Auntie Libz made a donation and asked Mama if Morphin could, please, choose a treat to have a Kidz Club to share with all the family. He chose sausages and lollipops! So on Saturday each child had a sausage snack followed by a lollipop ... a great choice, Morphin!
