Gatoto School Choir - www.gatoto.org/

The Gatoto school is established in the heart of the Makuru slum district, one of the largest slum districts of Nairobi. This school was set up in 1994 with very restricted means by the district inhabitants, when they realized that education is the only way to escape from the poverty and hopeless situation of the slums. Parents and other district inhabitants themselves have taken action and with good result. Gatoto has grown into a school where good quality education is provided by more than thirty teachers for more than nine hundred pupils, who all come from the 'slums'. At the school not only attention is paid to academic skills, but also to sport and culture, leadership and values and standards. After completion of their education the pupils are better able to live an independent life in society.

Is this actually in Gatoto school. I taught there last year and i know it didn't have a classroom like this. I was just wondering if they had revamped the hall. Is this in Gatoto or a different school.
