As a new school year begins, we are very happy that phase 3 of our project has begun!

Amidst a pandemic, a potential civil war and a rainy season, the school continues to grow and our children continue to learn.

In Ethiopia, pupils returned to school in November. Pupils are wearing masks and class sizes have been reduced where possible.

Three classes are now up and running with our newly appointed teachers! Grade 1 (7/8 year olds), Grade 2 (8/9 year olds) and Grade 3 (9/10 year olds) are being taught English, Maths, Environmental Sciences, Amharic (the local language) and Art - the standard Ethiopian curriculum. The headteacher has been appointed and he is called Mr Endalk Tsega.
