Here is the latest news from Makeni Centre, the first newsletter of 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations go to the Primary School for achieving a perfect pass rate for Grade 7! We can’t ask for more than that.

In other school news, two of the St Nicholas Village children, Wisdom Kabwe and James Chininga, topped their Grade 12 class. Well done to both of them!<\/p>\n

Diji Mwale (Grade 6) and \u00a0Violet Mukumbi (Grade 9) represented the school in area writing competitions, with eight schools taking part. Both students achieved very creditable second places.<\/p>\n

We continue to receive a steady flow of visitors from government and non-governmental organisations. Recently we have had talks from\u00a0Mr Trinity\u00a0Haambokoma of the Anti-Corruption Commission and\u00a0Mrs Gertrude\u00a0Shinkanga,\u00a0the\u00a0Executive\u00a0Director for Youth Concern.<\/p>\n

In Chibombo district, Mwembeshi Settlement Village was the venue for a celebration of International Women’s Week, which was attended by over 500 people.<\/p>\n

Finally, we remember the wedding of Bertha Kabwe, another of our St Nicholas’ girls, to\u00a0Chewu\u00a0Syakatayi, who is a public\u00a0administrator. Bertha, who studied education in Solwezi, now works for the Ministry of Education. Our warm congratulations to the happy couple! The ceremony was performed by Fr Nathan Ngoma at our own Church of the Good Shepherd.<\/p>\n
