The student in the middle is Clara Manoni, her mother on the right, Demetria, brother in the center, Daniel, and Nan on the left. On Thursday, January 20th, the high school had their formal graduation exercise, (over 300 girls graduated) although the students still have about a month of classes and final exams. We have been friends with the Manoni's for almost 10 years now. Clara's father died in December of 2007, but we have remained close to the family. It really was God's working that brought Clara to Kondoa in 2009, just after we got here. She had been accepted at a private high school in Dodoma, but then received the invitation to attend the government school here (much cheaper). It has been such a blessing to be near her these two years of her final high school courses and of course to have here mother, brother and an aunt be able to attend the graduation and stay with us. Clara has one other sister, Mpelwa, who is in Form I at a boarding school in Dodoma,(high school) Please pray for Clara that she will finish well and make good enough scores on her exams to attend a Government university. She wants to attend Mzumbe (Mm-zoo-mm-bay) University near Morogoro and study law.
