A new beginning!



                                                      Welcome back to school!



                                                 

It was wonderful to welcome the students back after the long summer break. They were really happy to return to school, and it was very pleasing to see how quickly they settled in especially our new grade ones with the new teachers, fresh new books, pencils and uniforms, new friends and new things to learn. 
The summer break was really long and filled with great opportunity to relax, play and enjoy themselves but after a while many become bored and within the second weeks or so, many children feel more than ready to get back to what they now know as home; Community hope which acts as a refuge because here they feel loved and cared for.
So we try our ultimate best to ensure that the children feel safe and as for me, I always look forward to this big day with great enthusiasm! 
On this special day, we opened up with chapel and I asked one of our grade 7 students, Daphny to lead us into worship which was a tremendous blessing!

 Looking back to the last 3 years and more and all God has done, I think of our previous students like Kayla, Beatrice, Shaun, Ladiwa, Nodesha, Denzel and many others whose lives got dramatically changed through the years spend at Community Hope, shaping and training them so that they maybe fully equipped to deal with every day life situations. Community Hope school has been a fountain of hope that helped to shape and nature many of these children's lives both physically, spiritually and emotionally and we trust that the truth and the years invest will form a strong foundation in order to bring about lasting change in our societies and our nation's future.

 It was a privilege to send off our previous grade 7 to high school. Looking back to the last 3 years and more and all God has done, I think of our previous students like Kayla, Beatrice, Shaun, Ladiwa, Nodesha, Denzel and many others whose lives got dramatically changed through the years spend at Community Hope, shaping and training them so that they maybe fully equipped like they are today and to deal with every day life situations and be confident in Christ wherever they go. Community Hope school has been a fountain of hope that helped to shape and nurture many of these children both physically, spiritually and emotionally and we trust that the truth and the years invest will form a strong foundation in order to bring about lasting change in our societies and our nation's future. I dearly look forward to see what God has in store for each one of them!
