Loishooki Joseph Charles   Haruna  Lightness	Five orphans we are supporting in Oljoro Secondary School: Loishooki Navarana, Joseph John, Charles Kisuda, Haruna Ramadhani and Lightness Meloo.  These young people now have hope for the future. July 2006 update:  Great final exam scores! Loishooki ranked first in his class of 157.  Charles ranked second.  Lightness ranked 6th.  Joseph ranked 15th.  Haruna ranked 45th, still in the top third. Joseph says, "Thank you, Professor Jeff, and all who help our Center!  When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail. Now we will have the second tool [education] and any problem to come will be solved by two or more tools.” June 2007 update:  Seven students are accepted to Peace House Secondary School in September:  Cosmas Degera, Faraja Moses, Dainess John, Ndajiri Saruni, Alex Loti, Amina Richard, and Erika Robert.
