Blessing Kabwe, one of the girls in the program who is now going to Grade Eight at Lubuto Basic school. She came over to the property wearing her uniform to show us that her parents have bought her everything. The only thing remaining are the school fees. Out of the Grade Seven students in the program that sat for exams, she scored the highest. We say congratulations, little Blessing!
Learning in Veronica's class. Little Pascal uses the big blackboard ruler to point at what he is reading to his friends.
Government schools have opened and as usual the teachers are not ready to teach yet. The students in the program are coming in to Living Compassion and sitting with the teachers to read in the library according to grade. Here some students are reading.
Margret busy with stirring the nshima. Very good exercise for the ladies!
Final touches to the newly renovated building. We added a coat of washable paint, which has made the property look more elegant. TEAMWORK YEAH!
Little Samuel showing off his lost tooth. Here in Zambia, when one loses a baby tooth, they are asked to find a piece of charcoal, put it together with the tooth, and throw it where the sun rises for good luck.
It's time to go home. The little ones with their leftover lunch packs ready to say bye. But before they go they ask for their photo to be taken.
Veronica, a proud teacher, poses for a photo with her 2016 students who have gone to Grade One this year at Government School. We only pray that they continue and keep up being good students as they were here at Living Compassion. We will continue to give them extra lessons so that they do not forget the Genki English.
A cute face of Living Compassion Kantolomba.
Susan, one the twins and now a Grade Nine student at Twatemwa School in Kantolomba, helping her mother Martha Mwanza with the veggies for supper. Susan was saying that in Grade Nine she is finding the subjects hard, especially English. We assured her that she will get all the help she needs with her classwork from the teachers or me. We are glad that she opened up to us this way, as we can help her now that we know where to start.
