Mako Mansaray has from time to time given us a report on our NHA School and he has decided to introduce us to the life of individual students. Today we meet Kumba Zeneme
By Mako Mansaray:
Education always plays a major role in the lives of children. The 11years long civil conflict in Sierra Leone contributed to holistic devastation of both the social and educational structure of the country which in turn made its children vulnerable, and jeopardizes the future of these children debarring them from their basic rights of formal education and psychological development.
There are still some communities where children do not have proper school infrastructure which and is preventing the delivery of quality education.
At Nazareth House Apostolate school in Kabala, there is a girl student by the name of Kumba Zeneme. Born to a family were her late father had three wives and her mother's only source of livelihood is through a back yard garden to support and take care of her children.
Mother Yaneh, as she is called, has four children three boys, and Kumba is the only girl child.
In Kabala most of the girl children are not allowed to go to school, only boys are allowed to go to school.
Other girls including Kumba stay in the house doing domestic work. Now, things have changed for Kumba and her three brothers, for three years now, they are attending NHA School in Kabala free of cost with Uniforms, shoes, and other learning materials provided for them through your donations and supports.
She is very much happy now in school with her friends.
For us at NHA School, we believed that Education is the best gift you can give a child.
If we give more support and helping hands to the work of NHA out here in Kabala, more children can benefit form our education programme, as education is the key to success for every child. Educating our youth also builds the future of an entire community.
Thanks to our supporters, and the good work of NHA.
Blessings,
Mako
