Creating a Safe and Loving Classroom Environment Vanessa Muthama, a first-year fellow at Mavoko Primary, is dedicated to fostering emotional well-being in her classroom. She believes that a safe and nurturing environment where students feel secure and supported is essential for effective learning. To create this atmosphere, Vannesa implements several engaging activities: - Dear God Jar (Mondays): Students share prayers, hopes, or wishes, encouraging empathy and emotional expression. - Gratitude Jar (Fridays): At the end of each week, students reflect on what they’re thankful for, promoting positivity. - "I Am Sorry" and "I Forgive You" Sessions: These create a space for apologies and forgiveness, fostering accountability and understanding. - Feelings Check: Regular check-ins allow students to openly share their emotions, encouraging support among peers. - Celebrating Birthdays: Vannesa organizes celebrations to help students feel valued and boost their self-esteem. Vannesa’s efforts embody our values, highlighting the impact of dedicated educators in creating a supportive learning environment.

We were delighted to host the (ChezaCheza Foundation) Cheza Dance Foundation team, including their Co-founder Cherrelle Druppers, at our offices today. Together with our CEO, Yukabeth Kidenda, Rachael Mwangi (Head of Training), and Iqbal Basant (Head of Partnerships and Development), we had productive discussions about how we can collaborate to enhance learning outcomes for children in underprivileged communities across Kenya. It was inspiring to learn about the impact of dance as therapy through the Cheza Cheza programs and their innovative Happy Schools initiative. We are excited about the potential for collaboration and look forward to working together to create lasting change. #TeachForKenya #ChezaCheza #Partnerships #EducationForAll #DanceTherapy #HappySchools #BetterLearningOutcomes
