“Kindergartens are game-changers, giving a whole generation new hope for a brighter future.“
Patricia Parker MBE – Founder Kids for Kids
We were delighted to receive our Kindergarten Report from Abu Degeise last week. This is submitted in part by the teachers, and in part by the Village Development Committee, who are volunteers considered wise by the community. Here is an extract from that report so you can see first-hand what feedback we are receiving. (The translation was sent from Darfur):
