2019 at Jambiani Center has been packed full of activities, new students, mid-terms, workshops and so much more! All of our students have been so committed to their studies and we could not be prouder of the progress they have made.
This past quarter, we had 33 students take their mid-terms and they all did exceptionally well. Additionally, during Ramadan, African Impact held conservation workshops and health workshops to extend the impact past normal programming. Conservation workshops allowed a variety of students to learn about overfishing, biodiversity, coral reefs, and protecting our oceans. Health workshop was definitely the biggest hit with a stronger attendance! We touched on the importance of health and also the food pyramid.
African Impact now plans to run more regular health workshops on Wednesday mornings. We had our introduction this week and will start workshops next week. The first workshop will be nutrition and we plan to have some mental health sessions too, as this topic is rarely talked about in the communities.
Now, as of July, we are getting an average of 100 students attending class per day. We are so excited to continue to watch them thrive.
It is still our big goal to build this computer center to allow for a grander impact on the students and their opportunities for employment. We are currently looking at the best way to design the center and are going to launch a fun campaign in the near future so we can hopefully have this center up and running in 2020.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Center expansion thus far! We are so appreciate of your generosity.
