The Namibian school year begins in January. This year we have enrolled
18 students and hope to continue to enroll as the community finds
out that we are no longer charging tuition.
Please read: Letter from the Teacher's
heart
We
started a kindergarten in our community based on educating children
on early ages. As a caregiver, I am facing a lot of challenges from
students and parents.
Most
of the students are orphans and they can't afford to learn well
because they don't have enough materials and food.
As
for other parents they cannot afford to buy their kids food, uniforms
and other materials because they are unemployed. But
they take education as the most important aspect in their children's
lives.
We
are also planning on building a new classroom because the one we are
using currently is not in a good condition. So
we are seeking financial support to do all that. We would highly
appreciate it if you will be willing to help us.
We
thank you.

If you look to the right side of the school building you can see that the sidewall is collapsing making it very unstable and unsafe. Elton built this structure in 2007 and it has served us well. We are able to salvage the majority of the roofing sheets but we will need to buy new supporting rafters, rope, nails and new door.
A member of the village and father of two of our students, Benstein, has volunteered his time to cut many of the poles needed for the main structure of the walls. He wants to see a new, safer structure built. We are so blessed by his willingness to volunteer his time!
