Greetings from Joska Center! We are grateful to God for His faithfulness and guidance throughout the term. We celebrate the milestones achieved and your unwavering support and partnership to continue making a lasting impact in the lives of our students by providing them with quality education, holistic care, and opportunities to grow in Christ. Thank you for walking this journey with us. We pray that God richly blesses you as we continue working together to transform lives and raise future leaders who will positively influence their communities. Lilian Karemesi, Head Teacher, Joska High   ![Pencil - Primary Blue - Icon 2-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Icons/Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png?width=883&height=889&name=Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png) ### School Highlights - Students took part in an internal geography contest that developed their analytical and presentation skills. - Parents attended our Grade 10 academic clinic day in large numbers, strengthening the partnership between families and the school in supporting students’ learning. - Teachers participated in Competency-Based Education training and Trauma-Informed Caregiving for Educators. The training equipped them with practical skills for student-centered teaching and psychosocial support. - Students competed at county level in volleyball, rugby, badminton, table tennis, and chess. Our rugby team reached the county semifinals. - Our music team represented the school at the regional Kenya Music Festivals, sharing their talents and gaining experience and confidence. ![Church - Primary Blue - Icon 3](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png?width=951&height=1212&name=Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png) ### Church Highlights - Our Weekend Challenge brought students together for Bible teaching, worship, fellowship, and reflection. It encouraged many to renew their commitment to Christian values, build peer relationships, and set a positive example in school and their communities. - We held two family training sessions, with more than 30 participants attending each. Families learned together and explored ways to strengthen their relationships through biblical principles. - We celebrated the baptism of 10 believers who publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ and committed to following Him. - Students who attended [Angaza Discovery Camp](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/angaza-discovery-camp/) completed three months of discipleship classes, deepening their understanding of God’s Word as they prepared to live out what they had learned. ![MOHI\_Icon-Impct\_v1\_07-13-23-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png) ### Together in Ministry - A team from Chino Valley Community Church in Chino Hills, California, joined students in sporting activities. Students were encouraged by the time spent together. - A medical team from Christ’s Church of the Valley held a medical camp at our health facility. They offered gynecological and neurological services to students, staff, and community members, providing access to care that could otherwise be difficult to obtain. - A team from Devoted City Church joined a Synergy Sunday service with staff, students, and families. They also played friendly games with staff, led a Vacation Bible School, built classroom shelves, and visited families for prayer and fellowship. - Students from Christ’s Church of the Valley mentored our students through conversations, crafts, and sports. They shared personal experiences and encouraged students in their studies, faith, and goals for the future.   ![icon-stars](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-stars.svg) ### A Story of Hope Patience found it difficult to concentrate in school while her mother was living with a prolonged illness. She worried about her mother’s health and the pressures her family was facing. Staff encouraged Patience to keep working toward her goals. As she continued with her studies, her academic performance began to improve. Her mother later recovered and was able to return to work, bringing relief and renewed stability to the family. Patience also discovered an interest in sports and has represented her school in rugby and track events. She continues pursuing her education and dreams of becoming a doctor. Through these experiences, Patience has come to understand that difficult circumstances can affect her journey without having to determine her future. She is looking ahead with hope and continuing to work toward her goals.
