Florence's school teachers

King of Kings Nursery and Primary School is the result of much prayer, effort and gifts of many people. Florence is the Head Teacher, Head Mistress, creator, visionary and energy behind this educational wonder.

Miriam, her elder daughter, teaches the middle class at the school, which operates from 8 am to 1pm, Mon to Friday.

Rachel, her younger daughter, teaches the baby class, which now has 20 students! Rachel shares the teaching with Ruth, who has a counselling certificate and attended the LiteNet training along with Rachel and all the others.

Here are Miriam, Jolly, Ruth and Rachel on the beach after the zoo trip.

This is the baby class that keeps these young teachers on their toes.

Andrew, the only male influence, comes once a week with a guitar to play music. Kids are quick to leave their work when they see him coming down the path. Brittany and other volunteers from eMiEA have also come regularly to assist in the classes, share songs, games and teach the lessons, if needed.

Frances comes every Friday with her computer on which she plays DVDs and music for the kids to enjoy. It is a good thing the computer has a strong battery, as there is no power in the classrooms. Frances and her husband, Dennis, blessed the school with its first ever field trip to the zoo in Entebbe and the Garuga Beach Resort playground. The entire school traveled by bus, many for the first time in their life.

There are funds provided by a few anonymous donors. Additional funds are always welcome as the students come from very poor families who can't even afford the low fees of 50,000/= for each term. (This is less than $25.) There are work exchange options offered to some of the parents where funding any part of the fees is a burden. Another source of funds comes from the sale of quilts, lap robes and potholders that Florence makes on school term breaks.
