I have just come from spending a week at ITBCI school, helping them to plan for the next phase of their work. The highlight of my trip was on the last afternoon, when I met with a group of 5 students. They were bright, enthusiastic and very appreciative of the school.
The age range of students at ITBCI is from 3-16, and I met students from age 13-15. They discussed their career aspirations and the fact that they would not have been able to continue in school without the financial and emotional support which ITBCI provides. Most of the students come from a family background where they are first generation learners, and their parents are wage labourers, earning very little and with no job security.
Every single one of the students said the thing they appreciated most about ITBCI school is how frindly and supportive and kind the teachers are. I asked them what they would like to change about the school and their answer was very simple "Nothing!"
