We had a free eye check up in the school for all the school children. Especially due to the hot weather here infectious diseases are very common. These sort of camps help people get a little relief from such infections. We also conducted hygiene awareness camps to educate people about personal and community health.

School

Our school caters to the poorest of the poor children. Such children that cannot afford any sort of education. They are taken in and prepared for life’s challenges.

A cultural event was held in the school premise inviting all community people, and a skits enacted by the children to show how important education is in a life of a human being. How man gets more adaptive, more presentable, more capable, and improves his condition from poverty to a good life.

People from their families have never studied before, so education is a new venture for them. Melwyn is a child from a very disturbing backgrounds. His mother, they say, went mad, and this child having witness all of it is still appears very sad and depressed. For a few days now he has been mingling with the others and gelling in quiet nicely. Because of memories of their recent past, kids take time to adjust and get used to the others.

In school we had a sports day where all kids were given an opportunity to participate and a very healthy competitive spirit was cultivated in children. Our school took part in an event organized by the government, and we are proud to say that most of the awards were bagged by our school in almost all departments.

Our school children took part of an international event called “Kids Games “ we children from different counties and all walks of life participated.

Along with schooling, children learn of good morals from the bible. Our dedicated staff tell them of the love of Jesus Christ. How he died on the cross to save them from sins. The children study the bible in their subject Moral Science. We leave it to them to decide which is the right path for them.
