New Year's gift of school supplies

14/02/2025

Did you know that in Tanzania, children in nursery school learn to count, read and write at the age of four? And surprisingly, they are good at it :)! Just before returning back home, we visited the nursery school in Kikavu again and by the beginning of the school year (the children have holidays in December and this school year started on 13 January) we equipped them with the most important things that children need in local nurseries. Three kinds of exercise books, one for writing, one for arithmetic and one for drawing. In total, we brought 360 of them. We also gave them lots of pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, crayons, glues, coloured papers and some sweets. And the children and the teachers were very happy.
