 Thanks to Julia Bengough and her two graduate volunteers DCT Mvumi Secondary School has begun new programme offering an English Language crash course to new entrants to the school.
Most students entering the school in Form 1 from primary schools in the Mvumi area have a limited command of the English language. This is not surprising since they will either speak the local language, Gogo, or the national language, Kiswahili, in the home and are taught in Kiswahili in their primary school. Some English is taught in primary school but classes are large and the teaching rudimentary. The state requires secondary education in Tanzania to be taught in English so a lack of English can be quite a draw back to progress. This autumn Mvumi School Trust is funding a scheme to provide an intensive English course to 80 successful young student applicants before they start their education at Mvumi Secondary School in Form 1 in January 2012. We welcome Julia's return to Mvumi for this exciting initiative. We would also like to thank John Power and Christopher Redmore volunteering to help Julia with this programme.
You can read more in Julia's latest blog from the school. |

We are sorry to tell you that Peter has very reluctantly decided that he cannot continue with his duties as the UK sponsorship co-ordinator due to very pressing family reasons. Peter has also decided to resign as a trustee of Mvumi School Trust. He has been a trustee of the charity since its inception (12 years ago) He and his wife, Anne, were very much involved in getting the sponsorship scheme off on the right footing. We would like to thank Peter for his years of work for the Trust and we hope that he will continue to maintain a keen interest on our affairs.

 Roderick Watson, our Treasurer and a Trustee, visits Mvumi each year. Both he and Ned Kemp, the school bursar, make sure that Mvumi School Trust’s money is spent wisely and well.
This June, Roderick stopped off to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro at his own expense before going on to Mvumi.
Mvumi School Trust needs regular donations to meet its programme. This year is no exception so Roderick is asking you to sponsor him on behalf of Mvumi School Trust. So far he has raised £4,000. The first tranche of this money has been spent on providing books for "O" Level students. It is also hoped to provide "talking books" for Mvumi's visually impaired students.
