Return to school.
On September 18, 2023, some of the children eagerly returned to school to commence the third term of the academic year,2023. The excitement among the children was unmistakable, as they embarked on another phase of their educational journey. Their commitment to learning and their resilience in the face of challenges continued to shine through.
Our children are all returning to school this week with a renewed determination and enthusiasm to continue their education. The holiday period allowed them to recharge and strengthen their bonds with their families, fostering a sense of unity and purpose. As an organization, we remain committed to supporting these children in their educational endeavors, ensuring that they have the opportunities and resources needed to succeed, the resilience and progress of children like Majoring and John are a testament to the positive impact of our programs in Katanga and we look forward to witnessing their continued growth and success.
