Dear African Dreamers,

For quite some time, from the entire area, it was impossible to communicate by E-mail. However, Father Raphael has now managed to send us the latest updates.
The new year started off very well and the lessons started again on January 30.


At the first national exams, the Nebbi College, compared to all other schools has obtained the best results!!
In fact, they had 4 “FIRST GRADE” students on a total of 23!! The second best school had only 2 “FIRST GRADE” students on a total of 100.
The “challenge” now is to keep up this fantastic result that confirms the validity of our school and the preparation of our students.

This year we have a lot of students: 27 in class S4, 32 in class S3, 45 in class S2 and there will be 70 students in S1.
Even more youngsters applied to become students of the college but today we can only accept a selected number. The school is in fact still in the process of being finished!There is a need for more desks. Actually some of the youngsters share desks as well as stools and dining-tables.

The works are ongoing: the second sleeping-accomodation only requires doors and windows. As they are needed for the students of the S1-class, were lessons will start on February 16, they are being installed now.

Father Gianni brought all materials for the solar panels and as such, we will have the energy that is required in no time!!!

As you can see, the road that leads to our target is getting shorter and shorter but our College is alive, it is breathing and it just waits to be completed.
The more help we will manage to get, the faster we will be able to bring our first dream to a good end!!

Thank you, African Dreamer!
Antonella
