The 6 rural nursery schools we are supporting have opened beginning of October.
The school is only for one year before the children go to attend primary school. Each year there are around 320 pupils who come to those schools.
It was in 2008 that we first opened a rural nursery school in the village of Kofila. Since its opening more than 800 children of this village have gone to this school.
It was an experiment since we did not knoiw if the parents would joined the project. They did and know we have opened 5 more of those schools.
Parents at first did not believe that young kids can learn! But they realise quickly that it is not true when their child comes home singing songs, asking questions to adults...
Another problem has been the integration of those children into primary school. They are 6 years old and even teachers think that they are too small in "height". Only when they realsie that those children have already social skills, know how to write that they had no problem to accepot them.
The parents are paying a very small contribution towards the running costs and we need your support to keep on this very important program for young children.
The young children of rural villages in Burkina Faso thank you.
ASAP would like to wish you an happy and healthy new year.
