β¨ MOVING THE MILESTONE A BIT MORE! β¨
Day by day, school by school, we're witnessing something remarkable. Today (sitting for Science and English papers) we celebrate the 29 incredible P7 students at Bugongi Primary School who have made it through a full course of primary education!
BOYS (14): Shane A., Godfrey A., Blessing A., Jordan A., Joshua A., Collins A., Innocent Isaac K., Eric N., David N., Daniel O., Ricky Daniel T., Joshua T., Trevor T., and Elijah A.
GIRLS (15): Miracle A., Linet A., Emmanuel A., Anita A., Fortunate A., Blessed K., Apophia K., Mariam K., Shanaz K., Evelyne K., Linean N., Comfort N., Merab N., Mary Anna O., and Nancy T.
Over 37,500 meals were served to this group alone over seven years. That's 37,500 reasons to show up. 37,500 chances to learn. 37,500 days of choosing to stay when most of their peers dropped out. And during exams, we provide a special meal.
In rural Kabale, where 70% of students still leave school by their 5th year and secondary education remains financially out of reach for most families, these 29 students made a different choice. The result of programs like ours create an opportunity. These kids took what we offered all the way to the national exam.
Last week's good luck card (pictured here) was just the beginning. Today, is about their grit, their determination, and their achievement.
To our Bugongi P7 students: You've already won. You persevered when others couldn't. You made it when the odds were against you. Whatever tomorrow brings, today you are champions!
So proud of you and good luck! πβ¨
