We are sad to be saying goodbye, in the next while, to two important members of Mayega Children Centre staff. Our Matron, Leya Lusana, who has been at Mayega since it started, is retiring. Asteria Benedicto, our Head of Care and a qualified social worker, has been with us for a couple of years and is leaving for personal reasons.

On Saturday 8th November, there was a farewell party, with cake and presents for Leya. Our latest newsletter, Nyumba Moja, has a fascinating article about her time at the Centre and the changes she has experienced.

Both women will be sorely missed by the children and their colleagues. They have made their own unique contributions to what Mayega is today. We thank them so much for that and wish them well in the future.
