By Albert Lokasola | Co-founder, Djolu Technical College
I am pleased to announce that we have just concluded our sixth academic year, which started on January 5th, 2008. The first set of exams has just been concluded and now the teachers and students are on their way home for the holiday. The second session of exams will take place on January 15 after which the graduation ceremony will be held. If they all pass, seven students will receive a diploma in Rural Techniques and six others in Environment and Sustainable Development.
The total duration of the academic year was 44 weeks. The first semester had 22 weeks and the second semester the same. In addition to the generous support of donors through the Global Giving Foundation, the Djolu Technical College benefits from donations and assistance from the surrounding rural communities and notables of the Tshuapa Region. The Vice-governor of Tshuapa, who visited Djolu lately, requested more information about the College, as a special mark of attention. We are very proud of what we have been able to accomplish with so little money for these dedicated students. But we couldn’t have done it without friends like you, and we are deeply grateful for your support.
