Anthony and Rahab – 8th Grade Superstars!

Our final two Daraja spotlights of the week are Anthony Nganga (2009) and Rahab (2008).  Both of these students will be sitting for the KCPE (the standardized 8th grade exam) coming this December. When they pass with flying colors, they will then know the level of high school that they qualify for and can begin the process of getting accepted.

Here's Rahab on the far right with her friends at our 2012 spring retreat

Please help us out by choosing to sponsor Rahab or Anthony in this new and exciting season of their life!
