EXTRA ACTIVITY– The gardening is coming up so well and soon the vegetables will be ready for consumption.
SCHOOL REPORT
November was the final month for the 7th grade who wrote their final examination on the 15th to 19th. The exams were conducted at Faith Christian Academy School, which is Kwathu’s partner in relation to examination programs. Fortunately, enough, all the sixteen students sat for exams without any challenges. The students were accompanied by teacher Phales, Don and Hachoose
On November 5th, the 6th and 7th grade examination classes had an educational tour to the Livingstone Museum and the Victoria Falls. On this day the learners had a great time. The purpose of this tour was for them to have an experience of learning from outside the classroom environment. It was an exciting tour to them as some of them it was the first time that they visited the waterfall and museum. Thanks to Madam Linda Mtonga for making this possible for our school going children.
DONATIONS– Girls Brigade from Grace Ministry Church visited and made donation of groceries, clothing, and shoes to Kwathu Children Home.
CLINIC PROJECT– As previously stated in the October update, the clinic is completed. only the ablution block (toilets) has a few touches remaining. This project is meant to benefit the children and the community around Kwathu Children’s Home to access the much-needed medical care.
