EVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION
Dear Sir/Madam/Rev/Hon………………………………………………………………………………
Re: Campaign to increase School going Children enrollment in Korogocho:
From the survey conducted by Acorn Kenya early last year Korogocho has got over 25 thousand school going children but amusingly only about half this number, (12 thousands) is attending school. What happens to the other half is still a great mystery to us. However majority of the parents don’t take their sole responsibility to enhance this legal right to educate their children.
It’s in this regard that Acorn Kenya in partnership with other several organizations and the Local Administration, are inviting you to an education awareness campaign day which will be launched at Korogocho on 8th March 2012 starting from 9.00am.
The event will start with a procession from St John’s Catholic Church and culminate with a sharing forum at the Chief’s camp.
Your presence, participation and contribution to make this day a success will be highly appreciated.
“UNITED TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE CHANGE IN KOROGOCHO” YES WE CAN!
