Joe Silwenga reports:<\/h3>\n

Mwomboshi Settlement Village has no government school and the residents send their children to a community school within the settlement village, initiated by Makeni Ecumenical Centre to help young children access basic education. The school runs from grade one to grade seven.<\/p>\n

For the past two years the school management has been making efforts to raise the standards of the school to equal that of the government schools in Zambia.<\/p>\n

Attempts to become a government school have faced difficulties because the Ministry of Education can only upgrade a school after sending qualified teachers.<\/p>\n

For Mwomboshi settlement, the Ministry has required us to build a house for a teacher before one is sent to the area.<\/p>\n

The Village Management Committee and the PTA decided to renovate one of the community houses, but lacked finances to embark on the project.<\/p>\n

\"Mwomboshi<\/a>However the Friends of Makeni in Holland intervened and funded the project in 2008. Here you can see the house in the process of renovations.<\/p>\n

Our thanks to our Dutch friends for this wonderful support! <\/span><\/p>\n
