A NEW SCHOOL YEAR HAS BEGUN!
Monday, September 9th, 2019 was an exciting day as EduNations schools reopened for the 2019-2020 academic year! Students returned feeling refreshed from their summer breaks, many of them using this time to rest, help their parents with farm work, and visit extended family in other towns and villages.
The first day back was busy and full of joy. In preparation for the beginning of school, the heads of schools had worked with contracted tailors to prepare school uniforms and on the first day of school, they had the opportunity to pass them out to their students.
More excitement came on this day as all EduNations students received new school supplies! Each student received a packet of 80 page exercise books, four pens, three pencils, sharpeners, a ruler, a geometry set, and a packet of crayons. Teachers also received new teaching materials.
Smiles could be seen on everyone’s faces as school supplies were passed out. In many communities, people joyfully paraded around the school campuses singing and dancing. In their songs they praised God, EduNations donors, the President and the administrative staff. One parent even shed tears of joy because she was not expecting such a big blessing at the time.
The day ended with broad smiles and hearts filled with love and thankfulness. As the day drew to a close, one of the student’s parents exclaimed, "We've reached a milestone in my child's education as she has got all her 2019-2020 school materials!"
We are so excited to see what this school year will bring!
