Yesterday, 28th July, we held the maiden edition of our Four Formation Challenge—a refreshed and expanded version of our monthly Reading Competition.
This month, we expanded beyond the reading component of our Four Formation Program by introducing Listening and Speaking. While every new initiative comes with its challenges, we're excited to learn, improve, and make future competitions even better.

Our sincere appreciation to our judges and timekeeper for ensuring the competition ran smoothly from start to finish. The Writing component is next, and we can't wait to complete the full Four Formation experience!

PRESCHOOL SECOND COHORT GRADUATION

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the graduation of the 2nd Cohort of our Preschool Program!

After spending two years with us, our preschoolers have successfully completed their journey—from learning letter sounds and phonics to blending words and building a strong foundation in early literacy.

The celebration began with soft drinks in the morning, and in the evening, each child was presented with a graduation certificate to mark this important milestone.

We sincerely thank all the parents and guardians who honoured our invitation and supported their children throughout this journey. Your encouragement and commitment have played a vital role in their growth and success.

We are equally grateful to our dedicated preschool facilitators for their patience, commitment, and outstanding work in nurturing these young learners over the past two years.

Congratulations to all our graduates! We are proud of how far you have come and wish you every success as you take the next step in your educational journey.

We are excited to celebrate the successful graduation of our May ICT Project beneficiaries! Every month, five beneficiaries each from the Cheetah, Giraffe, and Flamingo clusters are selected to participate in a month-long ICT training program aimed at equipping them with essential digital skills.
