By Annette Scarpitta | Project Co-Leader
Kids in our Elimu Boru Primary School in Kiliba Suki are still timid, but unlike when they first joined this program in their stigmatized states, they are now speaking out. They are not yet in a position to help those around them in ways they would like, but they know education is the right path. Here is what some of them had to tell project co-leader Annette on her recent visit about why their education is important:
Etuzi, Josephine, and Bernard like school “for the future.” Etuzi believes that school will help her with work. Both
Etuzi and Josephine aspire to be teachers.
Dorcas, Oliver, Bukuru, and Lucien want to remain in school to help their families.
Joseline aspires to obtain a secondary school degree.
Miriam enjoys studying because she believes it will allow her to have a good life.
Bahati also likes school because it will help her have a good life. She would like to help other women as does her role model, [AMCAV Director] Bernadette.
As we gear up for another school year, we hope we can continue to count on generous GlobalGiving donors like you. Donations have been on the low side lately, and we don't want to have to send these kids home for lack of tuition payment! Thanks in advance.
