Project Report | Mar 24, 2014
Spring 2014 Report from BTA

By Rev. George and Sarah Armstrong | Program Director and BTA Director

Mallory Jansen Memorial School, Ngolala Village, Upper Banta Chiefdom, Moyumba District

 Communities such as the one in which we are working continues to boast of having a formal schooling for children. Every parent is happy to see their children  in school. The good news of what is being provided from BTA in terms of food at school for children makes parents eager to send their children to school every year. This has made the school population increase every year. These are some of the children’s stories:

One story:

One thirteen year old girl in class five comes from a family where her parents are farmers whose income is low. When she was born separation became between her mother and father. She has two sisters and a brother. Since she is a girl her father decided to send the boy to school instead of her. One day her brother came from school whilst they were sharing stories with them he told them that there was food every day in school. Upon hearing this, she decided to tell her father that she would like to attend school at Ngolala. After some discussions with her grandmother, it was decided that she too should to school. They were welcomed by the Country Director who in turn advised her parents to continue helping their daughters to get education.  According to this young girl, since she started school she has been doing well because in school they don’t go hungry. There is food for every child that attends school. At times when she goes home she does not feel like eating because of the food that they give them in school.

She would like to become a Nursing Sister working in a clinic like nurse Jumbla who treats children in COTN Clinic in Ngolala. "The good environment of our school and feeding program is very encouraging to every student in the school. It is a big help to our parents because they don’t give us lunch to go to school. We are fed every morning when we are in school." 

The impact that BTA have is it makes every child in school not to go hungry. It makes changes in our academic work in school. We feel happy in going to meet other students. We also study every day because of our exams every term. She concludes by saying that ley God bless those families and organizations that are helping them in their school in Sierra Leone.

A second story:

Another young girl who goes to our school says that BTA has done a great deal in her life and she studies very hard so they can continue to attend in the Junior Secondary schools of Mallory Jansen School. In her future life she wants to be a teacher to teach children in school, that is why she wants her brother to be with her to teach him at home. She said it is a big blessing for the pupils in Ngolala eating food each time they are in school. May God bless Aunty Sarah who is helping on feeding the needy children in Upper Banta Chiefdom in Sierra Leone.  

And a third story:

A thirteen year old boy in class 5 at Mallory Jansen Memorial School Ngolala wants to be a doctor when he grows up. For now he is working hard in studying to pass and get 60% as a passing grade for his school. He says that BTA has done a lot for him in school. Some of the things he has enjoyed at school are through the feeding program of BTA. “I love in going to school every day. BTA food helps me not to ask my parents for lunch because I get breakfast and lunch at school.” BTA feeding program has helped every student tin Mallory Jansen School at Ngolala. Every pupil in our school benefits from the cooked food.
