It's celebration time when the child has finished writing the grade 7 exams, even long before the exam results are known. Just completing is an achievement.
Gifts of biscuits, money, shirts, etc. come out of the dark and as the child's name is called the grannies, aunties, community chairperson, teacher....jump out of their seats to dance and overload the child with praise!
But....not all kids have such great families....so a few of the kids receive little (but some teachers and good citizens notice and do provide something).
These great families are not rich...at all. Families in poverty can still be healthy - mentally, socially and spiritually! They are functional, we'd say in the Canadian culture and blessed we'd say in Christian terminology.
These families would likely survive the worst of situations - i.e. drought. They can problem solve.
ZMF-C assists kids at Siabalumbi and Nalabumba Basic Schools. Pre-school through to grade 9. ZMF-C also assists to pay teacher salaries at these schools as well as Good Hope School.
Thanks for making a BIG difference to these kids! You can dance for them!!
