Optiven Chief Executive, Dr. George Wachiuri is one of the alumni of the institution who have taken on the mantle of responsibility, recognizing the challenges posed by increased enrollment and the consequent strain on the school’s resources. In response, they have mobilized to raise funds, contributing significant amounts towards the development of new classrooms, the renovation of existing structures, and the provision of scholarships for the academically gifted but financially disadvantaged students.
“Chinga Boys High School gave me the foundation I needed to succeed in life,” he said. “I will always be grateful for that, and I want to do my part to ensure that future generations of students have the same opportunities that I had.“
Beyond financial support, the alumni have provided invaluable mentorship and guidance nurturing the next generation of leaders. They understand that their involvement extends to mentoring the students, sharing their experiences, and preparing them for the challenges of the modern world as this direct interaction with successful former students serves as a powerful motivator for current students, showing them the heights, they can achieve with hard work and determination.
The return of the alumni is also a profound way of honoring the heritage and traditions of Chinga Boys High School and by giving back, the alumni reinforce the values of excellence, leadership, and service that the school stands for. This symbiotic relationship between alumni and current students ensures that the institution will continue to produce well-rounded, accomplished individuals who are prepared to make significant contributions to society.
At the end of the day a tree was planted by the Optiven staff to symbolize a lasting legacy and a physical reminder of the contributions and connection to the school.
