Dear Sir,

Greetings to you all. We are fine. Sir we thank you for your help for this school. We sat on the floor. We didn’t know we can sit on desks. Look today I am writing my letter while sat on the desk.

We had only Mr Chansa, our Head, as teacher. Now we have four teachers; Mr Katongo, Mr Lupiya and Mr Mulu for seven classes. They live happily in good houses with their families.

We planted many fruit trees. We will eat oranges, guavas and bananas soon. Our classroom block roof will not [be] blown by wind because of the pines we planted.

I am also happy because of the experiments we do because of the science microscopes you brought for us. We have many balls and other sports kits. We play netball, volleyball and football. We don’t go home when it is raining because the classrooms are now better than before. We have many books which we read.

We are happy very much. Please send happy greetings to our friend students of Scotch College.

Thank you,

Chola (grade seven – 13 years old) on behalf of Kapumfi School pupils

Dear Sir,

I as Headteacher of Kapumfi School am very happy with the changes that have taken place at our school since the Scotch College and World Vision came to our aid.

Pupils used to sit on the floor now have deskses. The roof of the only 1x2 classroom block had been blown off but today we have a new 1x3 classroom block.

Pupils now have new toilets and the learning environment has improved greatly which has contributed to the pass rate.

We have good sports equipment, racquets and balls. For me who has been here for 21 years, it’s like a miracle. It’s unbelievable because life was hard both for the teachers and pupils.

We appreciate the hand of friendship extended to us by Scotch College.

Yours sincerely,

Emmanuel Chansa
Headteacher
