This month we bring to you Hatimah Namutamba one of our pioneer pupils at Kathy’s Kindergarten.
Hatimah joined the Kindergarten in 2018 at the age of 3 years, being her first time in school, she had a lot to learn academically and socially which was to be merged and associated to her daily home life. Thanks to your donations and to our committed teachers we have seen such young girls thrive in their early childhood start.
Hatimah is a female Ugandan aged 5 years and in middle class. Her parents who both live in the Mayuge district took the decision to have Hatimah start her early childhood education at Kathy’s Centre after being told by a friend about the exciting and beneficial educational environment set up for children like Hatimah. They have never regretted their decision and her parents said that ‘Hatimah today has developed so much since those first days she reported at school’. (See the picture of Hatimah taking a quick nap on one of her first days)
‘Hatimah shows unique attributes and qualities now from being at Kathy’s Centre and this consequently has shown to transform her character whilst at home too.’
Teacher Jennifer is so proud of Hatimah and applauds Hatimah’s development noting that, ‘her zeal to learn whilst at school is so encouraging’.
‘She likes using English all the time, which has given her chance to advance her spoken skills and also greatly improve in her class performance.’
Jennifer further notes that Hatimah is doing so well, ‘her activeness in class has made her an outstanding girl who is kind and thoughtful. She is always up for helping fellow pupils during activities in and out of class time, setting a good example for other pupils.’
Hatimah loves sports and particularly athletics, which she does with passion and for fun! ‘Her determination and enjoyment drive her to put up a good performance and she has always been the best in this area.’
‘If this talent is developed in the future, we could see a great athlete in Hatimah!’
Middle class teacher Grace said that ‘Hatimah is such a brilliant and intelligent girl, so willing to learn, socializing and helping others’, she added ‘in the sharing skills she tops her fellows’ which she attributed to a good start at home alongside her education.
When reporting back to school for 3rd term, Hatimah’s mother, whilst interacting with the school was full of praises for the work done by the teachers to improve the general lifestyle of her girl.
She reported ‘at home she is so helpful and likes involving in leading prayers and being so close to her elder sister which was not so common before.’
Just like at school Hatimah has surprised her parents and other people at home with the way she has changed in her lifestyle at such an early age.
