Progress on School Project

We are negotiating with a builder for desks and chairs. The desks open.

Each set costs 21,000 rwf. Don't panic. That is about $32 USD for a desk and a chair. 50 students will move to second grade.

Pictured below is what you will be giving to the first class and future classes with your gift.

Cement under overhang completed. 

The first coat of rust-proof paint on windows, doors and gutter is finished. Blue paint to follow.

The window glass goes in next.

Funding is needed. Appriciate your help.

This is the site of our next building project, we hope.

It will be a two story building saving land and will house grades 3 & 4. This land is for sale. We need it, and we need partners.

A donation to Hope Made Real reduces your income tax as we are a 501(c)3 organization.

Think about it. What better way to spend your hard earned money?

Visit from Teachers Training College, Muhanga

Wednesday the 20th of February saw much activity at Cyakabiri Preschool. 38 students and 4 teachers from TEACHERS TRAINING COLLEGE, MUHANGA came to spend the day observing at our school. These are young people preparing to be the teachers of tomorrow.

A very handsome group.

Our little students teach the the bigger students. Every one learns.

Our teachers answered questions.

They learned about lesson plans.

Lesson plans - the teachers guide for the week.

Sitting on the mat for a reading session. It was good to see these young people become interested in education for 3 and 4 year olds.

The students finished their day by joining with our teachers for question and answer session. It was a full day.  The students learned there is more to teaching young children than play. This early teaching sets the pattern for all future education. Their impact is so important for students of tomorrow.
