We Nurture Wonderful Human Beings

Schools have finally been given a green light to open after two years of lockdown due to the pandemic. We are excited and cannot wait to see the smiling faces of our children back at school this term. We are working tirelessly to ensure that our children continue to love and enjoy learning through a variety of artistic, fun, and creative activities. A very warm thank you to all of our staff who have made this possible!

We have highlighted a few events below; that happened during this period. Enjoy!

Parents open day

We were blessed with a successful open day where prospective parents had a chance to experience our school environment and learning methods. Throughout the day, our children showcased many of the wonderful activities that make up a day at Sadhguru School. This materialised as a day of carpentry, dance, yoga, sport, cooking, science experiments, and more. Parents and children enjoyed a picnic and most of the visiting children wished that Sadhguru school was their school.

Meanwhile, some of our children confidently undertook the role of waiters and waitresses in our newly formed school café. With pen and paper in hand, students took orders, served snacks and drinks, and collected payments whilst our lovely inhouse chef offered guidance. This was a brilliant opportunity for our children to practise their hospitality and costing skills in a real-life context, whilst enjoying our banana and chocolate smoothies, gooey date energy balls, hibiscus honey tea, and home baked cake varieties. Just to share here that all the herbs for the teas and ingredients came from our own organic school garden.

Future projects: A delicious café

Taking inspiration from the success of the open day, we are excited to announce our latest project: ‘The Moon Café’. Thought up by our imaginative Art specialist, the café will serve as a medium for our children to acquire vocational experience in a hospitality setting. 

We are fortunate to be getting everything for the café from our Sadhguru School fruit and vegetable organic garden. As well as baking, serving, and costing, the children will also get stuck in with planting and picking to collect the perfect ingredients for our delicious recipes. Yum! 

Digital Skills Campaign 

We are thrilled to have begun computer lessons for some of our children at Sadhguru School during the two years of lock down. Thanks to the generous donations of four laptops, our inhouse IT teachers have been driving forward one-to-one computer lessons for classes Y4 and Y5. These lessons have explored platforms such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, as well as emailing. We were even able to contact our Education Coordinator - while she took her leave - all the way in England. 

In order to grow our online access and digital learning space, we have launched our GlobalGiving microproject ‘Support Ugandan children to learn digital skills’ in time for #GivingTuesday. It is our aim that this Digital Skills Campaign will support us in providing computer access, IT infrastructure, and training to provide IT skills to all of our students.

As part of our fundraising drive, we have offered the first issue of our magazine ‘The Unschooled’ to anyone who donates over $40 to our campaign. We hope that children, parents, and grandparents around the world will find The Unschooled an adventurous platform to learn and explore our corner of Africa, all while supporting our children’s access to digital learning. As a long-term goal, we hope that the digital skills that the children acquire will enhance their contributions to future magazine issues.
