By Linda Wilkinson | Founder of Chikumbuso
Chikumbuso began as a school for 30 orphans who found themselves unable to attend the public school and it has grown into a community center with a K-7 school for approximately 400 students. This year we have opened a seventh grade classroom thanks to a gift from a very generous family who paid for the construction of the classroom. The students are super excited to stay at Chikumbuso for their seventh grade because they love the center but also because this is the year of their first set of exams. They are blessed to have the opportunity to stay and take exams in a classroom that they are familiar in and with a teacher they know.
Just recently Chikumbuso was informed that our seventh graders (who did go off to another school for their exams ) all passed with flying colors. Each and every one of them. As a community we are so proud of these students. They have been given an opportunity to succeed in life and it seems they are holding on to it tightly. Our students would never have been able to succeed in this with out the dedication of our amazing teachers. The teachers at Chikumbuso are hard workers and we should applaud them.
