Educate 40 Vulnerable Tanzanian Children This Year

Jambo,

We want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support of our students at Ikirwa School. Your contributions are more than just financial support; they are lifelines that help us provide quality education, essential resources, and a brighter future for our young learners.

In a small, rural setting, every donation has a profound impact. Thanks to your kindness, our students are not only gaining knowledge but also the confidence to dream big and reach their goals. Your commitment to education is transforming lives and uplifting our entire community. Our Class Seven students took their National Exams two weeks ago and have left school to await their results and apply to secondary schools.  To say we are proud of their hardwork and determination would be an understatement.  Their departure leaves a void in our school, but knowing that they were incredible role models to our younger children is such a gift. 

Our classrooms are like busy beehives. There’s a continual hum of instruction, questioning and conversations that fill each room. The youngest learners are exploring literature through pictures as the older students challenge each other with knowledge of Tanzanian history or angle measures.  Many of our teachers continue to enhance the curriculum with Youtube videos that can provide the students with video clips that allow them to explore concepts in a more indepth manner. Mr. Cassian, our Science and Math teacher for the upper grades, is currently working virtually with a university student in the United States to learn to teach coding.  His enthusiasm for this endeavor is contagious amongst the student body and many of the students in Class Five beg to participate, as well.  Their desire to learn and their futures are limitless!

Together, we are creating a ripple effect of hope and opportunity. Thank you for believing in our mission and for making a difference in the lives of our students with your generous support. 

All the best.

Rose Hogan

Sponsor Coordinator

Jambo

I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the entire Ikirwa community, I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous sponsorship and to share with you some of the activities on campus.

Our Class Seven students continue to prepare for their National Exams in October and an exciting graduation in July.  Though that sounds a little backwards, they will continue their studies after graduation to make sure they are well prepared and feeling confident about their big exam. The younger children continue to excel in their classes and truly enjoy math and science. Their English language is wonderful and it always amazes us that so many of them can speak three languages and fluidly transfer from one to the other. We are in the process of growing our classroom libraries which will only enhance their language skills and spark their imaginations. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, the children will have access to quality education, empowering them to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Your sponsorship goes beyond providing financial assistance; it is a beacon of hope and opportunity for these young minds. It enables them to pursue their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their full potential. Your investment in their education will ripple through generations, creating lasting positive change in our society. We want you to continue to witness firsthand, through letters and photos the difference your generosity is making in their lives.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support. Together, we are transforming lives and shaping a brighter tomorrow.

Ahsante sana for all of your support.
