How quickly this seemed to have happened that we went from having one part time staff, to three part timers ........ to six full time staff!! In 2012 we took on our first part time staff member, now we have six full time staff!
I feel very blessed this has been possible. This gradual increase in staff has also meant we have been able to gradually grow.
Growth for us has meant growing the number of girls we have been able to help to receive an education in our sponsorship program, but it has also meant an increase in the care and support we can give them.
We have about 250 students in school at present, most in our sponsorship program and some in the scholarship program. We will probably take on 5 new students in term 2 in our sponsorship program and 20 in our scholarship program. That is gradual growth for us.
The support we could provide when there was only one part time staff member and myself, was minimal. As the staffing grew we could provide more support and more care. We started with a Water Safety Day when we had three part time staff. Now we have added a scholarship program to the Water Safety Day, plus Life Skills Workshops, Girls to Women Workshops, Tet Food Parcels, Clothing support, medical support, food support, bikes for the students to get to school, literacy encouragement, mentoring and the occasional microloan.
Staffing is crucial to be able to carry out our education work and support our students and families. But the funding for staffing and for the programs is also crucial, otherwise there is no support, no care, and no education for the students.
Thank you so much to all who help us with our work in so many different ways - from sharing posts to get funding for programs, finding sponsors, raising money, and for donating for staffing and equipment, taking on sponsorships and scholarships, selling chocolates, putting out brochures at work, being on the board, being an adviser, or being a partner for CEF.
Thank you!!!
