 Chisomo
Nursery School
Previously, Chisomo's Nursery 'School' was
actually just a tiny room with forty children cramped into it.
So we have helped to build a new one.
The school also doubles up as a community
hall that holds a mother and baby clinic, saving many parents
hours of walking through sweltering heat to see a nurse.
The nursery school is staffed by local volunteers
who have undergone training at the educational office.
We have helped provide uniforms, a feeding
programme and equipment for the pupils.
Central to our work at Chisomo has been St Edward's
School Oxford. They have adopted us as one of their international
charities and have also twinned up with Likomo Secondary School.
Pupils from St Edward's have spent holiday time
on Likoma, and have helped us to build a playground (in the picture)
and are donating second hand computers for the school's new computer
block which they are financing. Trips from St Edward's to Likoma
are planned to take place every two years.
