Our Father in heaven is tobe blessed for the areas ofsuccess, for we are going

forward with goals and ob- jectives of being winnersand producing them.

The year ended well,crowned with the passingout of our Nursery pupilswho were able to make it toprimary section. The par-ents of the pupils werethere to witness and to en-courage their children not to

settle for the least but getready for the seven yearsahead of them to accom-plish the primary section.

Learners have been as-sessed regularly and al-ways the weak pupils have

been helped where possibleand finally we are glad toinform you that this year weare registering candidates

for primary seven, and eve-rything possible is beingdone so that by the end of

year our first bunch will beable to successfully sit fortheir Primary Leaving

Examination (PLE).

The best is what we do bestat Adonai Junior School andin order to maintain this,through the regular assess-ments we have discoveredthat we have some weakpupils who need extra help

and to cope with this, wehave already recruited newmembers of the teachingstaff to reinforce the one we

already have. Today wehave a total of fifteen teach-ers.

PARENTING

Its easy to lead a whole

nation than parenting

stated by one of the lead-

ing leaders this world has

ever had. Poor parenting

has left so many children

with trauma where by the

whole world is looking at

you for help.

You are a great parent es-

pecially during the time ofstress though you may not

feel like liking it, what we

need to know is that every

child needs parenting and

God intended us always to

be together and grow from

a loving, caring family.

You may learn a lot from

your child about yourself

than you had ever realizedwithout him, so we our-

selves need to connect

and communicate with

them. The greatest gift we

can give our children is to

create a secure parental

relationship and if this is

secure it will permit the

child a foundation to grow.

Christmas is the longawaited day! Here atAdonai

God is ever so great andHis mercies endure forever.All Adonai members arealways eagerly waiting forthat day which we usuallyterm it as a day in all the365 days! Whenever Janu-ary clicks, all the eyes areput on 25 December.

We thank God for lastyear He made it more won-derful than ever before. Thewhole month of December Ican say was a blessing to

us all; the children both resi-dential and those in exten-sion families, plus all ourparents and guardians.

There are moments that arehard to forget in life. It wason 5

thDecember, 2009

when we had Adonai Chil-drens Christmas party. Thisday was so special from allthe Christmas parties wehave so far had. All childrenwere happy that day anduntil today, they can tell thewhole story about it.On that day, every childwent back with something inthe hand and on the head.They were given gifts whichincluded; blankets, clothing,shoes, scholastics, playmaterials to mention but afew.I believe that every childhas a bed now that means

they enjoy the sleep andare no longer worried of thenight to come as they justanticipate for it to knock! Atthis moment I would like topause and give thanks toour beloved parents in UK.Thanks so much for youhave turned disadvantagedlives into advantaged, froma disgrace to admiration.God bless.We also had a Birthdayparty for Derrick which took

place that day; he cut acake and served all thefriends.
