Send 120 poor children to attend nursery school

Each year the Dutch association "join the pipe" is given us water bottles for our schools.

Each bottle is identified with the name of the child. It stays at the school for the whole school year then the pupils can take it home at the end of the school year.

Those drinking bottles help improve the hygiene at the school. Children are not drinking out of their hands (often dirty) or from a common cup.

Now some feedback from the parents on the nursery schools. You have to know that In Burkina children do not talk or ask questions to adults.

Father from the village of Fina: "my son came home one day from the nursery school and ask me how was my day? I was so surprised that I did not know how to react. Another day he wanted to know what will I do the next day. We are not use to this type of questions from small children. But it is nice." 

Women from the village of Kofila: "my daughter was very introvert, staying in her corner and not looking happy. After a few months of schools she completly changed. She was happy and singing when she was at home".

It is motivating to keep on supporting those schools just for this type of feedback.

Thank you for your help in supporting them.

There are 6 nursrey schools that we support.

After an evaluation of the school directors, we had to let one go due to lack of assertiveness in his job.

Also our best director resigned in order to take care of her mother.

We have been able to find 2 replacements but with some dificulties. We have decided to offer a 2 years scholarship to 2 young women from our villages who have the right level of education. They will be attending a government school preparing them to become leader of a nusrery school.

School has started on October 1st. So far we have 320 children in our 6 nursery school. We expect to reach 350 by the end of October. Parents are often close to their fields at this time of the year for harvests. Some of the mothers and young children will come back to the villages around the end of October.

Last week we pass by the nursery school of Nefrelaye where 71 children are already enrolled (48 girls and 23 boys). It is always nice to see the faces of those small children.

Thank you for your support. Make this project known to your friends and family.
