Formal Sessions Have Begun

Eight students and a teacher from Buhugu Primary school were the first ones to take part in a formal session at SDV, on Tuesday, June 27.

In consultation with the school, we created a program where these selected students and the teacher walk down to our center twice a week, for one hour, during school hours. The children range in age from eight to fourteen.

They receive training, for free, of course, and in the process we are also grooming them to be future volunteers. For once they complete the training, they will train other students and teachers from their school, in partnership with trainers from SDV.

And on Friday, we initiated a similar program with a second school, Bumatufu Primary, which is also located within walking distance from the school.
