Gathering together at Thika Variety Village

INTRODUCTION
This was the first ever AKIN student/staff retreat which was being held at Thika Variety Village in Thika Town within the outskirts of Nairobi. Thika Variety Village is one of the vocational schools being attended by three of our students who are specializing in woodwork and metalwork. This retreat was planned to help boost the social attitude of the students in the A.K.I.N program. The 25 students had not met for a long time since the closure of St. Francis Integrated School which acted as their home for a very long time. They were not aware of how their fellow students were faring on with life.

Thika Variety Village offered the best place for the retreat since it had enough accommodation space to offer to both boys and girls. All the arrangements were put in place to ensure that all the students were comfortable and fed properly on a balanced diet throughout the retreat.
