We are now in our 5th month since we opened doors to receive children into the nursery. We are witnessing the numbers grow steadily. We currently have 4 staff, 1 paid teacher, and 1 helping with the cooking of the porridge, a gardener / guard and volunteer classroom teacher.

Due to an increase in children numbers and challenges getting good qualified teachers, True Grasses has found a sponsor to help send one of the volunteer teachers to study a one year early childhood teachers course. She joined in July and she will finish in June 2016 when she will return to the nursery school as one of the main teachers. In the mean time she came back to help out for one week while she was having holidays from her studies. We closed the school for 2 weeks in the month of August for a short holiday.

The parents of the students and the community in general are happy as the school is already proving to be of help as now the parents have more time to do their own jobs and businesses. Also the children are taking great steps forward in speaking English.
