We celebrate our Integrated Science teacher Opio Andrew for his creativity, dedication and consistency!

He was challenged some time ago to improve his learning aids and he has the most beautiful, durable charts among all of our teachers.

POV: You sneak up on children reading in class during break time.

Books open up new worlds to children or teach them how to imagine.

In a land where bears and snow don’t exist, they get to read scIence books like this one and see what it’s like to be in other parts of the world. 📖

A lack of foundational phonics in lower primary results in poor reading skills in upper primary.

We have found that our children are great at learning verbally, but struggle with written exams. Why? Because they don’t know the simple rules of reading.

We’re taking steps to change that by teaching upper primary basic phonics on Saturdays

Worshipping…
Praying…
Bible-studying parents.

We are finally getting a rhythm after returning back to school from COVID. Our parents are as much of a concern to us as our children…and they have loved our first Bible study this year learning about God’s heart for children! We can’t wait until next month.

Words can’t describe the fullness of joy that we have!! To say “God is amazing” is an understatement.

We are in good company.

The river is flowing in Elwa. Transformed lives transform lives.
