Sometimes, and rightly so volunteers question whether they have made a meaningful contribution. 

This extract from a report from Gede School in Kenya says it all!

” Better Performance posting from last year’s exams

This time round, good performance was posted by the school in regard to the students that were admitted into secondary school. Nearly 50% of the students who sat their Kenya certificate for Primary education exams were admitted into high school with three hearing impaired students from the school joining national school.

This performance was a reflection of improvements noted from March of last year. Attribution was given to new teaching technical and adoption of storytelling as a way of reaching to the students. This method was introduced by Mrs. Coulson on her visit in February of 2014.”

Respect and thankyou Yvonne Coulson.
