Beneficiaries in this program are fine and safe, all students in their respective schools are progressing on well. They had a very short holiday in August and they reported back for another school term from end August to October 2021. Although there was no time to interact with them during the short break, we have been in touch with their respective schools where we have been informed of their progress. They are all preparing for their final exams in March 2022 where they will graduate from secondary schools. We are very happy to see them through the process and supporting them in their secondary education. We always count on you in every success we achieve for you have made the idea realistic. On behalf of our beneficiaries, please accept our sincere gratitude from bottom of our hearts. The school calendar was disrupted by the pandemic and students are now on crush program to ensure they cover the time lost last year when all institutions were closed as a result of the pandemic. This year students will go for 4 terms instead of 3 like it has been all through thus reducing the number of days for the holidays. Students are not very happy with this crush program since they don’t have much time at home during the holidays but to the parents it’s an advantage on one hand and disadvantage on the other hand. The advantage is that students are busy with their studies and have very little time to engage in other bad virtues which definitely affect their performance. The disadvantage is that parents have to pay school fees 4 terms in a year unlike before where they used to pay for 3 terms and the gap between one term and another is too close thus making them run marathon in sourcing school fees. All in all we are happy that learning is taking place and our students are safe and healthy. In the recent past we have been receiving many requests to consider supporting increasing number of vulnerable students. At the moment we can’t promise any support as fundraising has been very challenging and we will definitely consider them when we are in a position. It is our humble request to our good friends and well-wishers to chip in and extend their generosity by donating to our project so that we can continue supporting needy children in their education and especially the orphans.
