We have been working hard with the staff at Beautiful Gate School to develop their Feeding Programme. The school now have new staff and system in place which means that the children are getting a good meal everyday.
One of the great things that we get to do is distribute the Alternative Gifts that you purchase through the Beyond Ourselves website. This month all the classroom gifts that had been purchased over Christmas 2011 were bought locally and delivered to Greater Joy School. It’s just so great to see the joy on the Students' faces as they are given these gifts. THANK YOU if you were a part of this!
One of the hardest things to contend with at the schools is the lack of resources, for a lot of the parents and guardians of these children even 3,000 Kwacha (40 Pence) for a term's exercise books is not achievable in terms of disposable income so for these students to receive exercise books and a pen was just so brilliant to watch, a bit of a tear jerker moment if I’m honest.
