2nd Week Of Festive Season
Schools are closed, parents are busy hustling and we here ensure that our children are safe and sound. We are pleased to have the numbers increase every Saturday... From 200 to 406 today.....
We are grateful to the donors and volunteers who have dedicated their resources and time to engaging the children in various activities to ensure that learning and entertainment continue.
This school holiday shall extend all the way to around late January and it's almost 2 weeks since schools were closed. This means that they are going to be at home for relatively 2 months. It is for this reason among others that we shall soon introduce other programs for the children to further engage them in music and art. In this program, we look forward to teaching them how to play, and perform some African Cultural dances and musics.
It is during this time that we shall as well launch the ETCO Computer center to help in sharpening their computer skills.
We are looking forward to a very interactive month and season.
