TESTIMONIALS

Testimonies from Teacher Margret and one of the children Nancy at NSCA
"I am Tembo Margret, I want to testify for what God has been doing in my life through you people from Australia, by the time my parents died life was not so easy with me, I was taken to a certain community school to do my grade 8 and 9, I was at that school for two years until I wrote my grade 9 exams, that was the end of my education, I started staying at home and I used to look for work which never happened for me and I ask myself that am I going to be educated in my life, I did not know what Jeremiah 29:11 was saying upon my life, until the time came for me to start staying at home, not knowing that God was speaking to pastor Banda, as I was at home he called to his place and ask me if I can teach the children, I answered with boldness saying yes I can do it and this passion was me in a long time ago, after some interviews I was called for work, the first day I enjoyed teaching the children and interact with them. So I thank God for pastor Banda if it was not for him, I would not have known you people, lastly I thank God for what he has done in my life and give him glory .God bless pastor Banda and you people from Australia, may God give you more than you are expecting for making my dream to come true. Thanks"

Projects

Projects completed in 2014

  • We continued to provide ongoing school needs, teacher resources, office and cleaning supplies.
  • New TV/DVD for children’s educational viewing
  • Insulation into the church/school building was installed to ensure the temperature is reasonably comfortable for a healthier and more productive learning environment.
  • Classroom dividers were purpose built to section the building into individual classes and to cut down noise levels and distractions. This has made a huge difference to the classroom dynamics and helped to improve their learning environment.
  • University and College education for 6 teachers.


The end of 2014 brought to a close our one year J555 Pilot program.  We applied for an extention to Global Development Group and to our delight they were very happy with what we had achieved and extended our project for another year. We look forward to further growth developments in 2015.

2015 Projects:

  • Further Teacher Training (continuing…)
  • Health & Nutrition Program (to be established)
  • Community Vegetable Garden (Will begin…)
  • Update National Curriculum Books


Future Projects:

  • Chicken Coop (meat & eggs…to be established)
  • Purchase of a sewing machine (small business – children’s school uniforms to be made as well as other projects.  Children will be taught to sew.

A large community garden has been in the planning stages for quite some time and we are now about to begin the first stages of this project. Work to build the garden will be done by Charles and some of the parents of the children.  The vegetables grown will provide the children with a meal every day and our hope is to provide some of the produce to the families.  We will provide for them the seed and fertiliser and when it’s time for harvest the vegetables will be cooked at the school.  The parents are truly grateful for what Global Development Group and the sponsors are doing for their children.  They now have hope for the future. 

What greater privilege than to be impacting lives for the better?
