  New Student Teacher!

  [font=arial, sans-serif]Benja is taking some time before Form 5 to be a Student Teacher. A respectful move involving lots of hard work! Your job as a student teacher is never done. You wake up with the kids before 6 in the morning and walk them home from the school at 4:30 in the afternoon. Even after that, you live with the kids and help maintain order in the houses. Benja has taken to his role as student teacher very well. He gets along with the kids, teachers, and other student teachers. It is hard to not get along with Benja, and some real-life, work experience is beneficial at any age, especially Benjas.[/font][font=OpenSansRegular, arial, sans-serif][img]/images/user/4167_6437301439149636884.png[/img][/font]

  Tanzanian Children's Fund Student Update!

  Below is an update from the Tanzanian Children's Fund. We're excited to share that Benja has continued to excel in his studies! Benja passed the Form 4 National Exam! We are rejoicing and also eagerly waiting to hear his Form 5 placement. In the meantime, Benja enjoys being home, helping with chores and taking care of the kids at Rift Valley Children’s Village. They look up to him like a big brother. While Benja is home, he will take driving lessons in Karatu and computer classes in Arusha. Two valuable skills that will serve Benja well in the long run. His future is bright, and we cannot wait to see what amazing things Benja has in store! [img]/images/user/4167_9054339518464665112.jpg[/img]

When he can choose a combination of three specific subjects and study for two years to obtain an A level in each subject -- Forms 5 & 6. We're going to miss not having Benja around for a while, he has a big round face with a big smile, a really nice boy, we're confident he'll go far and be successful whatever he may turn his hand to! Benja likes playing soccer and -- unlike some of the boys -- likes other sports too, such as basketball and volleyball!
