Kutamba Primary Schools have been participating in online engagements with other students from around the world! These interactions have been helping Nyaka students build community with children just like them from other countries and also broadening their horizons.
Nyaka Primary students attended online meetings with students from Partners in Education in Vancouver Canada. The purpose was to foster and nurture lifelong friendships between students from both schools. During the meeting, discussions covered various topics, including how students cope with life both within and beyond the school environment.
Nyaka students were also involved in online chess training by a High School student in Illinois. The Illinois student first heard about Nyaka when Jackson visited Korea International School. He had been playing chess competitively, but after meeting Jackson was inspired to teach Nyaka students. Students also received donated chess board mats to practice with! Students learning how to play and excel at chess has many benefits including improving students cognitive function and helping them to become more mentally sharp and alert. These benefits transfer not only to their personal lives but their academic success as well.
