Educate 500 Zambian orphans & vulnerable children

Robert H. Schuller once said, “A spectacular achievement is always preceded by a spectacular preparation“.  It is from this notion that we at The Other Side Foundation School draw our understanding and wanting to ensure that every child that passes through our guidance at school is acquainted with such preparation in their journey of a career pursuit. Our teachers bring  reality to a dream of a vulnerable child who sometimes is forced to think  that nothing good can evolve from their current state of life. Bread and butter issues which is more pressing does not give room for a marginalised child to dream nor pursue an ambition or career goal. 

TOSF School holds Careers Day every year with a focus of creating a student centered experience that triggers real life experience  in pursuit of their dream career. We acknowledge  the fact that Careers Day is there to motivate and inspire students to find their passion, continue their education and develop a direction for their future. We further understand  that the event in discussion gives students a close - up look at different career paths and connects their learning to the real world.

This term the school held this important event and students were very happy to show case their dream inspired careers while dressed in the regalia of the career represented.  It was the first of it’s kind at our school for the underprivileged children because well wishers came on board and sponsored the purchasing of the beautiful attires for some of our children since most of them could not afford buying one, as it was one of  the challenges that was noticed in the poor turn out during this event last year.  Most of the children confessed that they admired  students from private schools putting on careers regalia during the event.  However, our values based teachers were on the ground to explain that regalia was not of much importance to this event but what they wanted to achieve and their determination to pursue is the main significance of this event,  dressing up for the event is just to spice up the whole event.  Teachers also explained about each career and what is required to achieve this .

Donors and well wishers, an underprivileged child can realise its dream career ONLY with the aid of our guidance, moral and financial support. Thank you for making this possible.
