Home and School Visits – Masvingo
Visit to Best’s Home and School
We visited Best at both his homestead and school in Masvingo to assess his progress and collect content for our Christmas fundraising initiative.
At Home:Best’s carer reported that he is doing well and exhibits commendable behavior. He participates actively in household chores, including farming, gardening, and tending to livestock. He is receiving mentorship from his uncle, who is teaching him gardening. Spiritually, Best has shown growth, as he now prays on his own and engages in church activities.
At School:Teachers, including Mr. Zano (Agriculture) and Mr. Nyengera (Woodwork), praised Best’s sociability, responsibility, and communication skills. He is particularly passionate about agricultural tasks such as weeding, ploughing, and watering crops. Both teachers noted his strong work ethic and increasing independence.
Visit to Brighton’s Home and School
Brighton was also visited at his homestead and school in Masvingo.
At Home:Brighton’s carer described him as sociable and communicative. He is now able to walk independently—an encouraging milestone—and he has also grown spiritually. She emphasized the need for continued support during school holidays to sustain his progress.
At School:His teacher highlighted that Brighton’s mobility tends to regress during holidays, underscoring the importance of consistent support. He enjoys school activities such as card matching and coloring. His physical development has improved and could benefit from more household chores to enhance his strength. Both his carer and teacher expressed gratitude for his spiritual growth.
