What is quality education?

Quality Education is defined by five key dimensions;

a) What learners bring, b)environments, C)content, D)processes and d)outcomes.

Quality education is holistic and a prerequisite for sustainable development.

URBAN SLUMS EDUCATION:

In slum villages like Soweto, quality education remains a pipe dream. Close to 60% of children here don’t receive quality education due to discrimination by politicians and policy makers.

Soweto Slum Villages are in Nairobi’s Kayole Estate, where WISDOM NEST COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMME, (WINCEP), is located.

WINCEP is an initiative to promote quality education and inclusion. It intends to launch a SCHOOLS TWINNING PROGRAM to promote quality education and inclusion of Soweto Slum Villages children.

SCHOOLS TWINNING PROGRAM:

Our goal is to twin slum schools with schools from the West e.g. America, Europe, Australia. and Asia, e.t.c.

BENEFITS OF SCHOOL TWINNING:

The benefits to be gained for participating schools include;

1. Professional development for staff.
2. Opportunities for school improvement.
3. International link enhances the curriculum across the board.
4. The learning experience of a cultural exchange of information on respective countries. Learning at a personal level about a different culture.
5. Penpal scheme. The opportunity to form long-lasting friendships via airmail and internet.
6. A source of sponsorship to fund educational projects.
7. Help build morale in the devastated schools.
8. The opportunity for schools to obtain or exchange equipment, books, clothing, shoes and other gifts.
9. The opportunity for exposure working teaching methods, aids and languages.

QUALITY EDUCATION TO END EXCLUSION.

SLUM VILLAGE: TWINNING SLUM SCHOOLS AND THE WEST.

SLUM VILLAGE: TWINNING SLUM SCHOOLS AND THE WEST.

Want to help children living under dehumanizing poverty conditions in Soweto Slum villages go to school?

Wisdom Nest Primary School, which is a project of Wisdom Nest Community Education Programme (WINCEP), is a slum village based school for needy children, among them orphans, children rescued from child labour, children from poverty stricken households, children affected by HIV/Aids and the needy girl child, is looking for twinning opportunities.

The school which is a non- formal education centre, wants to twin with a school in the west, America, Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Australia , Asia and Africa.

Twinning will help our children find pen-pals, swap letters and pictures with pen-pals, establish living contacts with children outside their country, and cultural exchange opportunities.
Can you help us find a twin?

Children from the west can help through collecting out-grown uniforms and used reading books, pens, pencils and visual aids to send out to a slum school in African - Wisdom Nest primary school.

Wisdom Nest Children will bring photos, stories from Africa, videos of schools and school children in slums. We are planning to add more slum schools in the program.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

- Collect out-grown school uniforms and send them out to Soweto Slum villages.
- Fundraise to provide for school building equipment or teachers salaries.
- Encourage and facilitate relationship and friends via pen pals.
- Have a working holiday in Africa to help teach children – teach staff- help build , equip and improve the school , and go on Kenya Safari !
- Donate computers, books, clothes, sanitary pads, and shoes.
- Became a foster parent.
- Help with our school twinning effort or come up with your own (help) option.

FOOD TITIVATION:

TOPIC; HUNGER AND DISPOSAL OF HUMAN ASSETS

Kenya is hungry, very hungry indeed. Hunger has pushed slum village dwellers beyond desperation.

After selling the last of their possessions, some parents have resulted to disposing of their only remaining assets, their children.
It is very sad, but it is true. Take for example, a 20 year old Hilda Shilzi. She is looking for a buyer who can pay Kshs 120,000 for her two year old daughter Sharon Achieng. Her reasoning: “it is better to sell the baby to someone who is willing to raise her than to see Sharon living the way we are because we have no future”, Hilda says.

Hilda is an orphan, jobless and hungry. She has no means to feed her daughter and things seem to be getting worse. The biting famine and cash crunch is pushing over ten million Kenyans to the brink of death.
Sadly Hilda is not alone, police are uncovering more cases similar to Her’s in slums and upcountry. my cry: stop food wastages.

SEX, LOVE AND VANITY:

TOPIC: physical romance is not okay…
Physical romances includes, kissing, mouth to sex organ, touching e.t.c.

Physical romance is like playing with fire. It can easily get out of control and when it does people get burned.
Remember HIV/Aids, heart break, Stds, unwanted pregnancies and death!
…don’t let anybody touch you…its suicidal.

PRICELESS WISDOM:
“Small beginnings have infinite possibilities.”

DID YOU KNOW”

That, “If you do not know where you are going, any road will lead you there.” …i.e. nowhere...
Have a vision and you shall accomplish something useful to humanity, after all, every one of us has an in born talent- develop it.

SPIRIUTAL NOURISHMENT:

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18
