A new bus for KEMPS!

I am taking a short break from posting about Kili, because there was a very exciting moment on campus today.  I was hanging laundry up to dry outside when I heard the beeping of horns and cheering.  My first thought was that a wedding must be driving by; however, looking more closely, I noticed that the teachers were cheering and students as well.  The honking drew closer, and students came running in next to the car of the General Secretary.  And behind him, came a new white school bus for KEMPS!

As the driver pulled in and parked, students and teachers placed branches and flowers along the windows to celebrate its arrival.  To further commemorate the moment, a tree was also planted on campus by the General Secretary.  It seems that the days of multiple trips in the land cruiser every morning and evening are finally over. 

Students and teachers decorate the new bus with flowers.
