A STAR IS BORN!

Lydia, one of the members of St. Clare’s first graduating class, recently graduated with a certification in pre school teaching.  All dressed in her Samburu attire, Lydia was extremely happy to graduate.

But what is truly impressive about Lydia is her drive and work ethic. Lydia has been teaching at St. Clare Centre for Girls, working with the youngest children. Lydia teaches for three months at a time and then has a month off. During that month off, she spends her time taking more classes to increase her certification. Lydia’s goal is to increase her certification, which will allow her to teach children through class 6. She aspires to return to Samburu (her original home) to teach HIV/AIDS children.  (This is an area where few girls have the opportunity to go to school much less become a professional teacher.) 

Congratulations, Lydia.  You are truly a star!
