In the Kunama community going to school is not a priority. Many Kunama's have a low education level.
Meet our 4 little friends, who were enrolled in primary school this year. After a few weeks of attending, they lost motivation and started to miss classes on a regular basis. Their teacher tried to work with them but they acted disrespectful to him and had total disregard for their education. They were dismissed from the school.
Abraham's Oasis heard about this incident and decided to intervene. We worked with the parents and the students, gave counseling to the parents and the children, made them aware of the importance of having an education, helping the parents to be an encouragement to their children and teaching the children to be polite to their teachers. This resulted in the return of the children to school and they now come home to much more suportive parents. The community around them has followed what has been done for these students and their family and they in turn start to encourage their children to go to school and stay in school..
Thank you for playing a big role in our assistance to this needy community. Slowly we manage to bring change through investing time, showing we care for them and setting examples.
