Classroom Sponsorship

As the semester ends and our students head off for "summer" break, we get a chance to take a break, breathe and reflect on the wonderful things that have happened this year. We are so thankful for all our donors and their support of our school as we work hard to educate and inspire the children of Ng'ombe. Our students are some of the highest achieving public school students in all of Zambia. They are consistently in the top 10 students for each secondary school they are sent to. We are so proud of them and their work.

And yet there is still so much to do - we still have several classrooms that need sponsorship. Each class depends on Chikumbuso for school supplies: basic necessities like paper, scissors, pens, and more. It's hard to realize how important these materials can be, in our world of plenty. But our teachers are constantly buying supplies for their classes, and that investment keeps them from saving for themselves. And kids regularly miss opportunities to learn as they wait for their turn with the chalkboard or the pen. These interruptions waste valuable class time for each of our kids.

Please think of supporting a classroom as a family this year, as part of your family gift to each other. Bring together your aunts, uncles, parents, kids, in support of education. It takes a village!
