Abdul and Parveen visit Chania High.

Abdul and Parveen Yusuf were courteously welcomed by Mr Kariuki, the headteacher, who was very thankful for the textbooks and dining room furniture the ex-students living in the UK had already provided.

They were shown around the school by one of the teachers.

They were a bit disappointed and saddened by the general state of the school, some classrooms with broken windows, damaged ceilings needing attention.

However, the headteacher was optimistic and showed them what they were planning to do in the future.

On their return they reported their observations and we agreed that we should try and do something – help where help was needed. A need for a Trust with a governing body to manage affairs was deemed necessary.
