Certificates of Achievement

Certificates of achievement are a rather scarce commodity among our school children.  We initiated a new tradition this year with a certificate of promotion to the next grade.  The school year in Zambia parallels the calendar year so certificates were distributed just before Christmas and children promoted to a new grade.  Life is so tenuous for so many of our kids that a piece of paper documenting school attendance, even if only the 1st grade, is a treasured item.
