She did it!

Agness with report card

 

Agness is now a proud 2-year graduate from a Teacher Training program in Zambia.  She has taught the Reception (Kindergarten) class at the Chipulukusu school for the past two years.  She also attended teacher training classes after school and during school breaks while teaching full time.  She completed her training course with distinction in December!  She was so proud of her accomplishment she could hardly wait to show me her certificate when we arrived at the school last month.  Two years ago Agness didn't know how she was going to feed her children their next meal.  As she says, "I was desperate."  Then she was hired to teach in the Young Peace Makers School, received a HealthEd Connect scholarship to go back to school, and has completely turned her life around.  We're proud of Agness and her can-do-never-give-up attitude!  She is a real asset to the school and her community.
