Thoughts From A Student Returning to School

As most of you know, some classes at God Cares, Primary and Secondary Schools are back on campus. These are the specific classes that are there to study for the National Exams. This makes up about 300 kids in total. Many universities and trade schools have also started back up at different capacities (some being online). No matter the age, the students are grateful to be back to school and away from an exceedingly difficult season at home. One student recently wrote to his sponsor upon return to GCS.

His story echoes the story of many of our students and reflects the heart of gratitude for our sponsors.

Dear Sponsor,
I am so happy to be writing to you again. As I told you, God has been good; indeed, he has been good! First, my community was attacked by massive floods. Whereby we were forced to leave our home and look for a safe place. Water was so much that one could use a boat to reach his or her homes safely.

Through all that, I thank God because he protected all of us. I also thank God for Buyamba Outreach Ministry because they stood with us all through the hard times. Buyamba’s Food Outreach provided us with food and other basic needs throughout a tough time. Right now, I am at school since only candidates were allowed to come back to school. My twin sister, Catherine, are both in Primary 7 (top of middle school). During the lockdown, God Cares School continued to give us work to do, and it kept the students current.

I always pray for you every day with your family. May God Bless you and STAY SAFE.

I love you, 
Brian.
