As many know, when we first started working among our communities education was the last thing on anyones mind, let alone a priority or even a desire.
Today however that is not the case. Conversations around the topic of education have become more frequent, enrollment was up to nearly 95% of all children according to the governments statistics prior to the pandemic and more and more programs are being supported by the local government offices and agencies.
We too have expanded our programs to help partner with the government and schools to see that the children and families are getting the best support as they prioritize education for their kids.
This past month we had the privilege of hosting a graduation for all the pre-schoolers whose parents (and children) were enrolled in our weekly class. It was such a significant day, not only for sense of on going partnership but because for the first time, parents were valuing education from the base line of their child’s education and were committed to get skills and tools to help them along as they get older. It was a MARKing day and one we will never forget.
