Hello Friends!

Apr 6, 2018

Hello Friends of Matenwa,

My name is Krystel Pierre and I am the new administrator. I started at the beginning of March and it has been a blast and a challenge for me to get to know the people of the community, the school and the students. The people are very accommodating, helpful, nice, friendly and ready to help you learn. While I am fitting into my new role as an administrator I’m also able to be a student myself. I’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle and with the help of the LKM team I am doing just that while making all sorts of new friends!

Krystel
