Dear Friends and Supporters,
Tina’s Pre and Primary School has its first graduating class this year! This is a proud achievement for us, a major event in the lives of these children, and a reason for hope in the entire community.
In Tanzania, youngsters must pass the Class VII National Exam to continue to Secondary Schools. These National Exams were administered on Sept 4-5 and the pictures above show our students right after they completed them. Now they must wait until mid December to learn the results. Because this exam is in English, our students have the benefit of our school's unique feature of teaching ALL subjects (except Kiswahili ☺) in English.
THANKS to YOUR donations, this class has been able to board at our school and study an extra three to four hours a day, Monday through Friday, through the summer in preparation for these exams. Our teachers and our cooks have been providing extra tutoring, meals, and even overnight supervision to make this possible.
All of us, here in the USA and in Tanzania, who were inspired by Christine Nyanda Chacha are thrilled that we have been able to keep her dream alive.
