"For the upcoming school year, we will be registering approximately 150 Nursery School students, as well as other students to round out a couple of classes.
When registering students, we take the orphans and most vulnerable children first. Then we make sure there are half boys and half girls. On top of that we seek a mix of Protestant, Orthodox, and Muslim children. We are a school with Christian values with the students memorizing Bible verse, having daily prayers, Bible readings and scriptural lessons each morning. With this Christian influence, many of our Muslim and Orthodox students become Christians and even take the message of the Gospel home to their families.
With this large increase of approximately 180 students, we need to hire more staff-teachers, feeding program workers, aides, etc. And, thanks to some generous benefactors, we should have a computer lab outfitted with 19 laptops in the near future. Our students will be the first in our part of the country to have computer education.
The construction work continues to proceed on schedule both schools in Ziway and Adami Tulu (see pictures below)."
