A few weeks ago when the Primary seven results from Primary Leaving Examinations came, our students had performed very well and all our students are going to join high school this year.
"this church has changed the history of our community" said one local council leader. Our community has a back ground of children failing to pass exams and every body knew it was hard for children in our community to join high school. This was basically because most children in our community are orphans or from very poor families and cannot afford school fees. Therefore they are always chased from school and hence don't concentrate on studies. Also children spend days without food, with too much suffering, the children don't concentrate on education and normally children drop out of school so early.
We thank God ever since we started programs that help pay school fees and feed children, there has been a big improvement!
Last year we had seven students who sat for Primary Seven examinations: Abraham Taremwa, Prossy Komuhangi, Andrew Niwamanya, Moses Kamagara, Pamella Orishaba, Catherine Mucunguzi and Safari Arineitwe.
Abraham was the best and he came in division one!
They are all joining high school in Senior One according to the education system of our country. In our country education begins with Nursery when a child is 3 years and at 6 years he joins Primary one for seven years. Then joins high school for 6 years and finally college/university for two or three years depending on the course.
Thank you all our friends who have supported us to help these children. Special thanks go to their sponsors:
Daryl and Dee Dutter, Danielle and Scott McGhee, Denise and Mike McBroom, Jessica and William Collins, Herman Becker, Anita Lankford and Gail Schimidt (respectively)
You have made a big difference in the lives of these children. They look forward to be great people in future.
