We’ve had the most exciting September. Our Class Seven students graduated on September 16th and what a magical day it was on campus. Many of these graduates have been sponsored throughout the years and this has insured them an education that is uninterrupted due to financial hardships faced by their families. All of our wonderful graduates will continue on to secondary school and their dreams of a bright future will continue. We are forever grateful to our donors and your generosity.
The lower classes continue to enjoy math, science, reading and history. Their ability to easily transition between Swahili and English is always impressive. We worked hard over the summer to increase our classroom libraries so the students will have additional resources and and the opportunity to enjoy literature and expand their understanding of the world outside of Midawe and the structured government based curriculum. Our youngest children love being read to while our older students just enjoy losing themselves in fantasy or fiction.
This summer we were lucky enough to have a number of volunteers donate a electric piano, a class set of recorders and several drums. These special gifts allowed Mr. Jackson and Mr. Alex to implement music into the classroom and parts of the curriculum. Our students are incredible dancers and singers and love music. These special gifts helped to incorporate the Arts into the students daily lessons and have brought added joy to our campus.
Your continued financial support, letters of encouragement and connections on Facebook and Instagram allow us to know your watching us grow, not only as a school, but as young people who will one day be the leaders of industries, educators, farmers, musicians or whatever their hearts desire. Please keep Tuesday, November, 28th marked on your calenders. This will be our largest GlobalGiving campaign of the year. This will allow you to make your finical contributions go further and will positively impact the lives of our students and their families. Without our donors many of our students would not have the opportunity to dream of a life outside of the village of Midawe.
Ahsante sana for believing in our dreams for a brighter future for all of our children.
