LIFE back at Life School

Aug 16, 2022

There is finally LIFE back at Life School! After nearly two years of restrictions of various kinds, the government has now allowed residential schools to fully re-open and admit children. About 40 children have arrived back and the others are returning in the coming weeks. Active outreaches are being held into the border villages, to identify and recruit children to the school.

The classes are back in session. The teachers and students have a lot of catching up to do, as they make up for the lost months. There is still time to play. Boys love to play football (soccer) and girls enjoy playing volley ball during their free time.

We are also considering ways to improve the quality of education at Life School. With the pandemic having made the world smaller through video conferencing, we are looking at options to setup a zoom classroom. This would enable the children at Life School to get connected with qualified resource teachers from around the world.
