International Literacy Day Celebrations
International Literacy Day Celebrations
GVI joined the Bombolulu Adult Education
team as they celebrated the annual International Literacy Day on in the Kisauni
District, Mombasa. The primary aim of
this occasion is to acknowledge literacy groups which tackle the high rates of
adult illiteracy within Kenya. GVI have
been working with the Bombolulu group since 2011, headed by the remarkable
Madam Grace, assisting with English, Math and computer classes to the adults of
Bombolulu and the surrounding areas.

Throughout the journey the woman sang songs and cheered creating an
amazing atmosphere. Once arriving at the grounds, we were introduced to the
other adult education groups over sodas.
Throughout the day there were numerous theatrical and humorous performances
from the group members, and traditional Massai dancing and music. The closing
ceremony saw the educational group leaders and members being awarded
certificates recognising their participation and achievements, along with
teaching equipment. Overall a good day
out, and amazing experience to observe the dynamics of other adult educational
classes.
