Hwol Yarje Graduation


The team recently received an update from Dr. Chris on Graduation at Hwol Yarje School. Dr. Chris summarized the project, saying "We greatly appreciate you all for the support and prayers. These ones would have been without education."

Over 300 people attended the graduation of these 15 students, including: community heads, neighboring schools and Trustees. Activities included dancing, presentations and theater. The same day, the team also dedicated the Hwol Yarje borehole and toilet system, a long term project of NATIVITY:NIGERIA.

The team was also provided with testimonies from some attendees:

Community Head: "We can see great improvement in our children, the way they speak and interact with other children from other schools. We are grateful to God and Faith Alive Hospital for their support and assistance, most importantly for the provision of the modern toilet system and borehole."

PTA Chairman: "On behalf of all of the parents of children benefiting from this school, we are grateful for the gift of the school and the facilities available to make teaching and learning conducive for our children.

Head Teacher: "Despite all of the challenges, we are thankful to God and Faith Alive Hospital for all of the support and assistance needed to have produced the first graduates of this school."

Graduate: "Today is a day of joy in our lives, we are happy to have visitors from USA witnessing our graduation and even dedicating the toilet and borehole on the same day. We thank God for being a part of this history. Faith Alive Hospital, we are grateful for this completely free education given to us."
