As the new school term approaches, set to begin on 29th April, there is a quiet sense of hope and anticipation in the air. For many families, this season comes with both excitement and challenge, especially when it comes to preparing children with the basic school needs.
This time, I was grateful for the opportunity to support two students from Bar Olengo Senior School, Maryline and Milverton.
Maryline is now ready for the term with a set of new books and pens. It may seem simple, but these are essential tools that give her confidence to sit in class, follow lessons, and complete her work without feeling left behind. There is dignity in being prepared, and you could see it in her smile.
Milverton, on the other hand, received a new pair of shoes. For a student, especially one who walks to school, a good pair of shoes is more than just clothing. It is comfort, protection, and a sense of belonging. His joy was clear, and it spoke louder than words.
As they both prepare to return to school on 29th April, we thank God for making this possible. These small acts remind us that even a little support can go a long way in shaping a child’s future.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9
Let us continue to stand together and support these young learners. Education is a seed, and every effort we make helps it grow.
