Student highlights from 2021

It’s pretty safe to say that it’s been a challenging year with the disruptions of the pandemic across the globe and all the adjustments we have had to make to our normal everyday lives.

But in spite of this, some pretty amazing things have happened for our students and our alumni that are really worth celebrating.

In no particular order we take a look back over some of the successes of the year…

🎓 Mary, from our Zambian village, was awarded a scholarship to study Bio-Chemistry.

💥 Bevex Kapansa, also from our Zambian village, was signed to his new professional football club. 

Fundraising for others

🙂 Grade 12 students in Zambia made and sold tie dye t-shirts to help two fellow students buy suits for their graduation, while giving the left over money to a friend who was facing financial difficulties. 

🌾 Students at the Indian Village were involved in organic farming, producing crops of wheat, potatoes, peas, onions, garlic, beetroot, radish, okra & beans.
