The school year in Uganda has ended, and the holidays have begun! During the long break from school, activities such as the weekly Awana club continue. This helps our families and provides a safe haven for children.
Let me tell you about some of your students who have had big accomplishments this year – and you were a big part of making it happen!
Twenty-four students at Calvary Primary took the Primary Leaving Exams (PLE). This is a huge milestone in their education, and their performance on this national exam determines if they can continue on to secondary school.
Sixteen secondary students took “O” Level exams. These exams take place over many days, and each section is hours long. These high-pressure exams determine if a student can go on to “A” Level classes. Two students took “A” level exams this year for the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education.
They will find out how they did sometime just before the first term of school next year.
After secondary school, students can go to vocational school or college. This year, Milly completed her Certificate in Business Administration. She has been working in the Bridges for Children office, handling paperwork for students involved in the program. Kawere opened a video rental business with his brother, and attended classes at night to complete his Certificate in Auto Mechanics. Margaret completed with a Diploma in Accounting. She already has a job and is able to support her family. Kamanzi completed two years in teacher's training college and will be graduating next year.
None of these students would be in school without your generous support - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
