The first meal for this first term was served on 4th February 2009.  This is because although schools resumed a month earlier, the mayhem associated with the education changes meant we had no choice but to wait.  Children have a meal only when they are on the afternoon shift. They take turns such that a given child gets a meal every second day.   However, the good news is that we have expanded the programme so that we now provide meals to all P4, P5 and P6 children.

This year we have been informed that the Government will be providing curriculum books for Integrated Science, Primary Mathematics, Primary English and Primary Social Studies. However no book has so far reached our school, and there is news that these books are being sold to schools.  With the first school term almost over (6 weeks to go), our dilemma is do we buy these books or do we wait?  Unfortunately, waiting has meant children are going to school and not learning anything!  This has been compounded with the news of further changes in the language of education: As from 25th February, children aged 7, 8 and 9 will learn all their subjects in Kinyarwanda.  Not English as previously directed!  To continue to support the school in this area RSVP have provided some support books (dictionaries and teaching books) in the meantime.
