We are encouraged by the people's response, as we play our small part in promoting the enrollment of children in primary education and by the ratios of girls to boys in primary, secondary and tertiary education in our projects, in keeping with Millennium Development Goal # 2 - universal primary education and Millennium Development Goal # 3 - gender equality.
It was casual day at FOH ...
... as the students gathered to celebrate ...
... with those enjoying a birthday this month.
...
Our MC for the afternoon did an excellent job ...
... and following the presentation of gifts we all enjoyed a lovely meal together.
At TLC ...
... the children enjoyed a fun learning experience with Mission Direct displaying their talents off the building site ...
... and in the English class ...
... while others concentrated on the computers capabilities, as well as their own.
Their are those who are in no hurry to leave the class in order to linger longer with the teacher in order to gain the edge over their peers ...
... and those who want to meet the guests, Peter and John ...
... and Jessica ...
... and those who manage to score a lift to the centre in the Tuk Tuk.
Shani added great value to the project, as she conducted a number of sessions on health care for the parents and children during her visit ...
Matt and Paul ...
... were keen to assist as they offered their acting skills to take part in a skit that depicted the difference between the performance of children who had eaten breakfast, as opposed to those who had gone without.
Paul also assisted Shani in getting her message across on the importance of eating breakfast ...
... by positioning himself in the audience and generating a number of questions that begged just the right answer from Shani, that all the parents needed to hear! What a duo!
Through the academic and learning centres, we are committed to providing the parents with training directly relating to the Millennium Development Goals, especially the goals related to maternal health, reducing child mortality and promoting gender equality, just to name of few.
Scheduling visits to the homes ...
... of the children attending the centres ...
... provides us with a great opportunity to share a laugh ...
... and to hear the testimonies ...
... passionately delivered by the children and parents ...
... as they express just what it means to the family ...
... to have their children enrolled at the centres.
