Teachers at Zamtan happily holding new supplies donated for their classrooms and extra-curricular activities

It’s World Teacher Day, so it’s time to celebrate women and men who choose to uplift others through education! The teachers at our three sister schools in Zambia are compassionate and creative leaders who we are proud to partner with. Their dedication to empowering orphans and vulnerable children is inspiring, and they use their many talents to help shape good citizens both in and out of the classroom! Along with their day-to-day class duties, many of the teachers support wrap-around programs and extra-curricular activities so the students have well-rounded opportunities for learning and fun.

At Kasompe Community School of Peace, Ms. Musonda and Ms. Musanya (pictured below) help care for the garden and incorporate lessons it into their curriculum so that students learn to grow nutritious foods.

At Mapalo Young Peace Makers Community School, Head Teacher, Mr. Mumba (far left, pictured below) assists with tutoring the KIT Club students receiving high school scholarships, so they do well in their studies and graduate with distinction. Mr. Chipyango (far right), KIT Coordinator, also provides tutoring and integrates co-curricular activities to enrich students’ learning experience.

All of our teacher colleagues deserve to be celebrated and recognized for their empowering work! We are thankful for our teacher friends, and extend our gratitude to teachers across the world uplifting young world-changers!
