Katikamu: Why Stone Age methods in 2001?

SIR-Katikamu Light College is a lovely school. We have computer lessons, nice meals and good teachers.

SIR-Katikamu Light College is a lovely school. We have computer lessons, nice meals and good teachers. But we have a complaint. Katikamu is a secondary school and not a seminary. Too much emphasis is put on prayer and yet there are many churches we left in our villages. The school is founded by the Seventh Day Adventists. That is alright but why be so eccentric as to forbid us even to read books and fetch water on Saturday? We are Chistians not Jews. Water and power are a problem in the school and the neighbourhood. There is nothing wrong with prayers but there is time for everything. Prayer on Saturdays is like a punishment because it is overdone. It is good to 'obey the law' but fortunately, even in his own time, some 2000 years ago, Jesus had the wisdom to subordinate the law to love. We do not see the use of the money we pay as library fees. There are no new books and yet 'Á' level is desperately in need of text books. Please allocate this money where it belongs. Katikamu Light College is a mixed school and is advertised as such. However, at school, boys and girls sit separately. There is a section for boys and one for girls in church of all places, during prep and in the library. What kind of social values is the school imparting? Management may have good intentions but the methods employed in the 21st century belong to the stone age! Name withheld on request
