Midsummer at Diamond Child

By Thomas Dalury | Project Manager

Mid-summer at Diamond Child (no time for dreaming however & nobody is lost in the woods; Shakespeare would be so proud of these “Diamonds”!). The level of enthusiasm is higher than ever at the Diamond Child School. Founder, Seydu, is convinced that “well fed, well led” students continue to advance in a manner never experienced. This past July 22nd, 61 “Diamonds” sat for the BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) after attending 2 weeks of “summer camp”, as well as 51 for the NPSE (National Primary School Examination). All candidates received a full day of nutritious meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Director, Madame Memunatu Mamoud, has proudly announced that a total of 625 “Diamonds” will be enrolled next fall, including some 120 new students. The school’s excellent reputation recognizes that our admissions have peaked at this number for the next academic year, regardless of being open for two shifts, from 7am – 8pm, daily.

Vocational Training program students in Carpentry and Tailoring this summer also upgraded our number of desks at the center as well as created our new school uniforms. Congrats to them as well.

Mid-summer at Diamond Child School of Arts & Culture and as Shakespeare would say, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves”. Ms. Mamoud and her staff have instilled this notion amongst all the “Diamonds”, who continue to shine in an underserved neighborhood of Freetown. This generation of students are earnestly paving their way to a brighter future.   

We continue to acknowlege and appreciate your kind support for our Diamonds!
