Conclusion

The activities went on very well as planned. The SPAT team did an excellent job, they used all the skills that they had learnt all through the training. The children and the teachers also enjoyed their time here.

Kinango team did an exemplary Job especially Mwaka and Amina with the help of their team leader Furaha. Kwale team we have Ngome whose work was quite impressive, Zuma, Marion Fridah and Janet did try too. For the sign language classes we gave the mandate to Nyamvula who is not a SPAT team member to stand in for Emmanuel who was not around. She really did an exemplary job.
