Field fellowship
Had a good time interacting with our children after a hectic first term. They are now in holidays and we caught up with them in their community to discuss their term and know how its going at the school. Each child shared their story of how the term went and we discovered that there is transformation taking place not just in their academics but also in their behaviour. Some are now better able to state their ambitions for the future. There was a general improvement though some need to improve in some subjects.

Testimony Time
We are doing a series of home visitations with some of our new volunteers. In these visits, we have tried to interview the families about the impact that FALCCO has had on their lives so far.
We first headed to the home of RICHARD MANIRINDE and spoke to his mother.
She gave us a picture of how she and her son Richard, together with the whole family have benefited from the program. Here is a translation of her testimony:
" I thank God who brought this program to us! I had lived a desperate life trying to sustain my children single handedly. Though my husband is working in the city, he doesnt send us any support. However, i have been greatly encouraged by the parental care and advice i have got through FALCCO since 2009.
My son Richard had almost dropped out of school because of very poor study conditions. He would go early on an empty stomach and sometimes return home for lunch and find no food. This had demoralised him and his perfomance had dropped considerably.
However, through the support of FALCCO to him, he regained interest because of the assurance of school fees. His perfomance has also greatly improved. He now takes lunch at school and is able to concentrate.
His behaviour has also changed positively. He is now focussed and the advice he gets from the project staff is guiding him towards a more disciplined life.
Furthermore, i was in the first group that got a goat through this project. It has boosted my income since then because it produced and i have more goats now. I also sold off one and added the money into my small business which is helping me to take care of my family.
Thanks a lot our sponsors"
