play


The kids at SMK are back in school now. Their holiday (equivalent to summer vacation in America) ended a week ago. The order of the day now revolves around teachers, lessons, books, exercise journals, homework and classroom discipline. The children all wear uniforms; the color depends on the school attended. AT SMK, the uniforms are green.

Change the Truth currently sponsors 25 orphaned secondary students. (Through primary school, the fees for the orphans are underwritten by the fees paid by the non-orphans.) Secondary is the equivalent of American high school. CTT also sponsors one student who has moved on to University and one student who is in Nursing School.



Change the Truth has granted five new sponsorships for secondary school this school year. You will meet those children in an upcoming post. For now, here are a couple new photographs simply celebrating “play” – something the kids are quite good at during their “summer holiday” in December.
