By Kono, Head Leading Star Teacher

Most children who are studying in this high school are from remote areas. Some have walked over 2 weeks, some much closer. It’s difficult for them to carry their own food for all year round. For us teachers, it is impossible to get food for all of them. So we all are suffering at the same time. But the children do well in classes. They learn to trust God. In the very hard times like these days ( the famine) they do not cause any problems. Even when they are hungry, they fill their stomach with water. We thank God for these children. They are such a strength to the teachers.

These days the children are often sick. Most of the children have malaria. They also suffer from not getting enough nutrition. They have diarrhea, and itching. If possible we need some medicines for such diseases.   Thank you and May God bless you.
