The team visited the schools in the Garden Compound – Garden Presbyterian, Garden Hill and St Stephens.
Garden Presbyterian has just completed a classroom building with 3 new classrooms and an administrative office. computer classes are offered to both the students and teachers. More computers are needed as there are many students. The new instructor would like at least 10 computers to teach classes of 20 students.
Garden Hill has 8th and 9th grade with 181 students. Last year 47 of 53 passed the 9th grade test to go on to government schools for 10th grade, and all but 3 are currently still attending classes.
St Stephens has grade 1-7 students with a 100% pass rate for the 7th grade exam.
After returning to the House of Moses for lunch, we visited the N’Gombe School which has 518 students and 9 teachers. The classes start with Pre-K and continue through to 9th grade.
Our evening was spent telling stories and enjoying time together.
