Baraka moved to Grade 5. His Grade 4 textbooks are on the shelf, still in good shape.

Mitumba means second-hand. Many Kenyans buy mitumba clothes and books. Reusing saves money and is good for the planet.

Ask at home

Look through old books, toys or clothes together and decide what to sell, keep or give away.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
