Under-tree class turned school

As we walked home in the evenings we would see a group of ragged children, who can’t afford school perching on rocks, squeezed together on benches, crowding around a blackboard and a teacher. Over the last seven months we have got to know Pastor Samura, the enthusiast behind this 3 year-old street school. After challenging him what his dreams were if he had the resources, together we came up with a proposal to move this school from the roadside into a proper building and resource it with teachers. This week saw the launch, with a hundred and two children attending the first day. The school will run for 2 hours, three afternoons a week, Helen attending on Wednesdays. The building we use is an extensive but almost empty children’s home opposite the team house. We have provided, thanks to donations benches, books and small pay for volunteer teachers. How will it end up? Watch this space for what you might do.
