Volunteers visit a local Day Care Centre.
Volunteers visit a local Day Care Centre.
This week two of the GVI volunteers went to
visit a local day care centre, founded and supported by Madam Grace. GVI volunteers work closely with Madam Grace
supporting the Adult Education Group situated within Bombolulu, which provides
basic education to the adults with little or no educational backgrounds.

The care centre is an informal school
situated within the Shariyako slum, and operates within a small local community
church accommodating 60 children. The
care centre provides free education for children between the ages of 3 and
eight years old, who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn basic
English, Math and Science. Assisted by
two other volunteer teachers, Madam Grace conducts lessons for all the children
from 8 am until midday.

GVI volunteers Kerri and Amanda kindly
donated toothbrushes, toothpaste, medical equipment and toys to the children,
who were absolutely delighted with their new items. These children don’t even have the means to
own toothbrushes let alone toothpaste, so these where especially well
received. A big thank you to Kerri and
Amanda for your extreme generosity and contributions!
