When the Students Give Back: Ruai Primary Reunited, Retired, and Remembered

We laughed. We cried. We remembered.

In 2022, Ruai Primary alumni reunited to honor the teachers who shaped us.

Mrs. Kamau, Mr. Mungai, Mrs. Wambugu & Mrs. Mirichu. Here’s what happened when students came back to say “thank you.” 💛✏️

Mwalimu Mungai: The Striped Suits, the Keys & the Legacy

He wore striped suits, jingled his keys down the corridor, and taught us with heart.

On July 9, 2022 we honored Mr. Mungai. Our former Senior Teacher turned Program Director at SOS Children’s Villages.

A legacy of impact, humor, and fatherly love. LOVE ISN’T A SCAM 😄

Why Are We Raising Prodigal Sons with Dare-devil Stunts?

Is it ancestral impulses, stomach or libido that is driving teenage boys to the madness we are currently witnessing?

Let’s make this a Happy Father’s Day by healing Father wounds. And throwing a lifeline to the boy sunk into himself.

Math, Music & Mwalimu Wambugu: A Melody of Memories & Mentorship

She made Math sing and Music count 🎶➕.

Nearly 30 years later, Mrs. Wambugu still teaches with passion!

From pi to puppies and class to crops. This Deputy Head is a whole vibe! 💯

Tap to see how we honored her legacy with gifts, hugs & hearty laughs👇

The Kimani’s: Our Village, Their Legacy

In 1992, Baba and Mama Jane moved from Eastleigh to our wild, quiet village and helped raise a generation.

40+ years of marriage, five children, and countless memories later, we visited on 2021 to say THANK YOU.

Their story is full of laughter, faith, and quiet wisdom: https://wp.me/p6HwbF-1Pj

Nine Families, Countless Blessings: A Journey Back to Those Who Raised Us

Three years. Nine families. A million memories.

We went back in 2021. Not just to visit, but to honour the parents and teachers who raised us.

We brought gifts, but left with something far more valuable: wisdom, laughter, tears, and stories that shaped us.

They survived COVID, retirement, loss, and change. Yet their faith, strength, and love remain intact. 🧓🏽❤️

Be wise. You won’t be young forever. Visit while they’re still here.

The Machogus: Multiplication, Patience & Chicken Money

She drilled us in multiplication with a cane 🫣 and modeled faith with her life 🙏🏾.

In June 2021, we went back. Not for math, but to say thank you.

From chicken money in Kisii to a legacy in Nairobi, Mr. & Mrs. Machogu quietly raised a generation.

Today, we grieve 💔. The Machogus were murdered at their Elburgon home. Leaving us a testimony of patience, devotion, and faith.
