We Are All Cleaned Up!

By Linda Wilkinson | Founder of Chikumbuso

The month of May started the second quarter of school for our 500 students.

Three hundred and fifty of these students will be at our center's school while the other 150 head off to the chosen secondary schools where they will complete their education funded totally by

Chikumbuso. Did you know that in 2015 100% of our seventh graders passed their exams? We are so proud of each and every one of our students.

When the children returned from their month of vacation they were so surprised at the changes that had taken place at our community center. This is thanks to John who is a volunteer at Chikumbuso and is known as the man who gets things done. New to Lusaka and looking for a place to use his talents John was invited to Chikumbuso as a volunteer. And with him Chikumbuso hit the jackpot! He has already accomplished so much. The playground has been repaired, our classrooms have been painted, and each of the teachers have supplied John with a "honey do list" which will keep him going for a long time. I told John just seeing his car at the center makes me happy. Knowing there is someone willing to get "things" done makes me smile. How proud all the students should be of their school and thankful to John for making it happen.

When you give through Global Giving you are enabling us to help John buy the materials he needs to get things done. You are also giving students the tools they need to be successful by paying for teacher's salaries, books, school supplies and food.

Thank you for your kindness.
