There was plenty to celebrate at Mayega Children’s Centre on 7th June.

We had received confirmation that two of our Form 4 students had been allocated further education places by the Government. Ibrahim will study A level at Mbweniteta Secondary School in Dar es Salaam (History, Kiswahili and English) and ‘big’ Emma (Emmanuel) will go to Tukuyu Teachers College near the Zambian border to study Chemistry and Mathematics. Well done to both of them.

In addition, Form 6 students Elizabeth and Johana have been selected for 3 months national service in the army on the basis of their character and academic ability. Congratulations – this is an honour for them.

Also, it was the last visit to the Centre from our Scottish visitors – so, of course, party time! Sports, singing, dancing and a meal. Mixed emotions all around.
