Kasompe School

- The real adventure occurred when we reached Zambia and began working in the schools. Our goal was to support both the caregivers, most of whom are grandmothers and/or widows, as well as the orphans and vulnerable children enrolled in the schools. Our first stop was the Kasompe Community School of Peace that is supported by HealthEd Connect. Located in a low to no-income are of Chingola, the needs are great. Over 60 caregivers turned out for classes on financial literacy, paper bead making, and emotional support needs. Overlay the adult classes with the sounds of 100 plus children having English lessons, singing Hokey Pokey, playing soccer and duck-duck-goose, and you have happy pandemonium! In spite of the facility challenges, good things happened!
