Six months ago, Seffo's Principal Weldegebriel wished he could have given marks for health and hygiene, as ready access to clean water in the schoolyard had made profound improvements on his students' wellbeing and attendance. In the persistent drought, Seffo's water source has fluctuated and at times dried out, but the students have remarkably maintained their level of hygiene. Ato Weldegebriel is happy to report that your investment in Life Skills Teacher training is showing healthy returns.

imagine1day recently spoke to Seffo's School Principal, Ato Weldegebriel about his hopes for the upcoming mid-term exams. He explained that all grade levels in Ethiopia are tested bi-annually to determine whether students will continue to the next grade. Previously at Seffo, children struggled to write their exams, teetering on stones and balancing paper on their laps. This year will be the first time they will be able to focus, seated at proper desks. Ato Weldegebriel expects the students' test results to improve immensely.
