Hello from Shining Light School!
We hope everyone is getting into the spirit of holiday season! As 2023 comes to an end, big things are happening at Shining Light School. The students will complete their frist semester on December 15th, and there will be a Christmas Party to help celebrate all of their hard work and this semester the students really worked hard! As a foundation, we were able to complete a few pending projects...We fixed the roof, delivered new workbooks and financed the maintence on the school boat.
Thank you for all of your help and contributions towards our foundation and the education of these students. Everything is so very much appreciated. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Needed: A New Roof for the School
By Rhianna Said | Volunteer
Hello from Shining Light School...Hope you are all enjoying the summer!
As we have sailed into the future from 2020, to 2023 the Shining Light School has continued to provide education for children in the small village town in Ishahayi, Nigeria. Our organiztion helps provide education, but we also provide maintenance on the facilities and we provide for the continuous needs of the students. At the moment, the school is in need of a new roof, new desks and new life jackets. The roof is badly leaking and with the changing climates world-wide, rainy season has been continuing into October, sometimes November. The student's learning will be interupted if the roof over their head doens't provide shelter from those rains. They are also in need of new desk. Several desks have broken over the years, and many of the students are sharing desks with other students. This is quite uncomfortable and doesn't help the child fully focus on their studies. Life jackets are necessary as we have the boat that visits surrounding villages and transports students to school.
Since it is summer break, now is the perfect time to acquire those itmes and have them ready to help welcome the students back in Septmeber 2023. We have launched a campaign to help encourage funds towards our main projects right now:
1. A New Roof
2. New Desks
3. New/Replacing damaged Life Jackets
We will share the link to that in the days to come! Please help spread the word! As always, any little bit is greatly appreciated and helps bring a smile to our students :)
Thank you,
The IBSF Board

Celebrating Student's Achievements at School
By Rhianna Said | Volunteer
Mathematics Award
Greetings from the Shining Light School!
We hope everyone is doing well and back into the swing of things after the Winter Break. The Second Term has begun!
At the Shining Light School, the students have been busy and working hard. Recently, the school held an awards program and recognized those students who have perfomed well in their studies in the first semester of school for the 2022/2023 school year. After the awards program, the whole school was awarded a swimming day and the students enjoyed splashing and laughing with their peers!
It's celebrations like these that help the students feel more confident and shows them that hard work has its benefits.
This month we were also able to deliver a play kitchen for the younger primary studetns to use and also new books to help exapnd the library.
Thank you to all of those who continue to support us! Your generosity truly helps brighten the life of our students at the Shining Light School!
