| The girls are back at KGSA and ready to begin Term Three, the final term of the school year! As 150 girls return to the classroom and campus, we’re excited to introduce you to someone helping ensure they feel supported both academically and emotionally: our new School Counselor, Fiona Omondi. Fiona joined KGSA earlier this year and provides the girls with a safe, trusted space to talk, work through challenges and build the confidence they need to thrive. We asked Fiona to introduce herself and share what she loves most about working with the girls. Her beautiful response says it all: |

| I’m Fiona Omondi, a clinical psychologist, social worker, and facilitator passionate about creating safe, compassionate spaces where young people can feel seen, heard, and supported. I chose this line of work because I’ve always believed that behind every behavior, there is a story and sometimes, what a person needs most is someone willing to listen without judgment. What I love most about working with KGSA and the girls is witnessing their growth. Every girl comes with her own story, dreams, strengths, and challenges, and it is incredibly rewarding to walk alongside them as they discover who they are, build confidence, navigate challenges, and prepare for life beyond KGSA. I love their honesty, energy, resilience, and the fact that they constantly remind me that growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Working with the girls has also taught me that support is not about having all the answers. Sometimes, it is simply about showing up, listening, encouraging, and reminding someone that they are capable of more than they realize. If I could describe the KGSA girls in just three words, they would be: RESILIENT, BOLD, and BRILLIANT. Resilient — because they continue to rise, even when life presents difficult circumstances.Bold — because they are learning to use their voices, take up space, and dream beyond the limitations around them. Brilliant — because their potential goes far beyond academics; they are creative, compassionate, talented, and capable of creating meaningful change in their communities. Being part of their journey is one of the things that remind me why I chose this work in the first place. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, travelling and exploring new places, listening to music, and having meaningful conversations with people. I also love moments that allow me to slow down, recharge, and simply enjoy life. I believe these little things are important reminders that well-being is not just about the work we do, but also about how we care for ourselves. We couldn’t agree more: the girls of KGSA are resilient, bold and brilliant! We’re so grateful to have Fiona walking alongside them as they begin this final term and prepare for everything ahead. Thank you for helping KGSA provide more than an education. Your support helps create a safe and caring community where every girl can feel seen, heard and supported. |
