Edna, a Grade Two student at Twatemwa Primary School, got high scores on the quiz that was arranged here at Living Compassion. She beat all other Grade Two students in English spelling and writing.
Theresa, my namesake. She is all grown and is in Grade Three this year. She was telling me that she has a new brother at home who was born yesterday. Theresa's family has grown, and she now has seven siblings.
Meet Jonathan, who is now in Grade Nine. He was the boy who used to joke with me whenever he saw me walking through Kantolomba. At that time he was not going to school, and he would ask if he could only come to eat, as he did not like school. I would always tell him that he could eat at Living Compassion only if he went to school. One day his grandmother came to the property with him and he was enrolled in Charles's class. He wrote his Grade Seven exams and made it to Grade Eight last year. This year he is in Grade Nine. He now loves school and would like to become a doctor when he completes school. I always encourage him to work hard.

This is little Priscilla, who is in Memory's class. She has been learning how to write the number 9. After two days she is now able to write it, and this has made her so happy that she asked if her photo could be taken.
