The government of Kenya has received it's first  two Gold and 2 silver  medals trophies through  the Special Needs Education (SNE) learners who are participating in the ongoing Federation of East Africa School (FEASSA) Games in Kakamega County.The first Gold trophies were  delivered by both boys and girls who were fighting off a strong team from Uganda in the  newly introduced indoor game for the visually impaired (VI)  popularly known as Showdown."As we await more medals, we are very proud that we have received  the Gold medal trophies from our special education unit, who were competing for the first time in this new discipline " Peninah Mutuku, who is  the head teacher of Thika School for the Blind, said.

She thanked the government and the Ministry of Education for expanding access for all learners to engage in fields and track events.
"To acquire some of the adaptive equipment for our SNE participants  is not easy, but with support from our government, we are much ahead of the rest," Madam Mutuku said. Her sentiment was repeated by Director for  SNE at the Ministry of Education Dr. Frederick Haga, who said the government has continued to support SNE learners through inclusion in most of the games being done by the other learners.
"Whatever it takes, the government will create space for our learners who   have various challenges to enable them to fairly compete with others," Mr. Haga said.
