Summer School 2021

The regular school year resumed in September 2020 and ended April of 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic that has been on since 2020 and the impact it had on education; schools had to consider options. Globally, many schools were closed for months meaning students were unable to attend school in person and for many, they had to consider and opt for virtual learning.

For us at Shinning Light School; the option of online learning was challenging as many students do not have access to internet at home and in many cases, they do not have computers or laptops to use. This is part of the reason why we plan to have a campaign to request donations for Used computers and laptops. With this, students can borrow laptops or computers from the computer lab for use at home. It will be run in a similar fashion as a library when students loan out books.

To further help the students catch up with any of the curriculum and learning for the year that were unmet; we also had a summer school program and encouraged all our students to attend. Our teachers also included improvement of skills for the students and had activities to encourage and build; Confidence, Team work and leadership skills as well as character building.

The reviews of the summer program was excellent and our teachers and students all gave great reviews of the additional time spent at school over the summer months. They were really happy for the opportunity and the additional learning from the summer session.

We at IBSF would like to thank all our sponsors for your continued support in making this summer program a reality.

Thank You.

Sustainability Project - Agriculture

By Tanwa Taiwo | Marketing Manager

As the world is still dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, students have resumed full time classes and education, but we are still being very careful and ensuring social distancing is maintaned at all times.

In the past couple of months, a new sustaininability project focused on agriculture and animal rearing was launched. The project has been gaining momentum and the students and teachers are very excited about the prospects of the project.

Farm animals and agricultural products were purchased to enable planting of various food items. The goal is to expand this project to provide sufficent food items that can be used to subsidize the food items currently being purchased and also give an opportunity to educate and train teachers and students.

Agriculture is at the center of the Nigerian economy, providing the main source of livelihood for the majority of Nigerians. Having our students and teachers acquire this new life skills course not only provides the students an opportunity to explore their instincts, it is also practical because it opens the door to a future career in farming and animal rearing. Agriculture is not only an occupation for people but also a way of life.

In such a short time the students have blossomed. During our last trip to The Light School it warmed our hearts to see the pride in their faces as they showed off their farm and animals to the IBSF Board of Directors and volunteers. We were so impressed with their productivity and passion about this agriculture and animal rearing project. See pictures below!

As part of our plan to support the project, we will be introducing a full time Agriculture program and getting an Agronomist to train and educate the teachers and students.

We hope you are all as thrilled as we are that it's possible to positively impact a village such as Ishahayi Beach through educational projects like the new Agriculture Project! We will continue to share updates and photos as the project progresses and we thank you for all your support and encouragement!

Sincerely,

IBSF Board of Directors
