School for slum kids

It's funny how some days everything feels totally overwhelming and then by morning you wonder why. It is only a few days on since my last post and I feel totally different to how I felt them. Maybe that's just part of being woman :) But school has finished so that's one thing off my to do list.

Yesterday we went to see a school for underprivileged kids. What an amazing job they are doing and to see how God has bought finance and made such a lovely environment for these kids to have opportunities to learn and change their lives. There are 700 students of varying ages with clean neat uniforms and smiling happy faces. The girls with their hair braided and tucked under to form loops, the boys playing in the dusty yard.

These kids are picked up everyday from surrounding slums and bought to the school where they are fed breakfast and lunch, given free education of a very good standard, provided uniforms and a chance to become what they dream of. There are already 24 children that have graduated and moved onto college (university).

The Ministry of labour has seen what a great job they are doing and are now partnering with the school to help eradicate child labour.

Thumbs up to the founders of this school and to their big hearts and to all the teachers and volunteers and donors that have made this dream come true and to make a difference in the lives of these children.
