Vunga Vocational School

Many children, after finishing primary school, have no means of entering a secondary school. Therefore vocational schools have risen to equip this category of youth with skills which equips them to earn a proper income within just two to three years. School fees are minimal and students still receive a balanced education in addition to their chosen trade. The school receives generous support from people in Canada, the UK and the local church. The investments are not in vane as Vunga has become the top vocational school in the district. The head master invited me to come and see what it’s about ( … and also while I’m there, to give him some training on the computer). The school grounds cover 7 Hectares in a beautiful valley. Within two years, the student count has grown from 20 to 140. They are now planning to extend the facilities to include accommodation for students and teachers which will allow many more that simply lives too far to attend. We finished the visit at midday and the cooking class provided us with lunch – definitely chef standard (although still a bit too oily for my preference).
