Meet Rebecca
April 13, 2015
Rebecca is in her second year of Kindergarden at St Kizito Bidati Nursery School. Rebecca lives in a village near to the school, although she still has to walk two-and-a-half kilometres to school every morning, a walk which she finds tiring; she makes this daily journey with her older brother Stephen, and her friends Dominic and Fiona who are in primary school.
Rebecca loves reading, because she is very good at it. It is for this reason that Rebecca is so fond of her teacher Denis, because he is the one who has been busy helping her with her reading skills. Indeed, Denis – the school’s K2 teacher – is young, smartly dressed and wildly popular amongst his pupils. Aware that many students like Rebecca arrive at school feeling worn out, Denis begins the school day with some games outside; K1, K2 and K3 join together for outdoor games, singing and dancing to re-energise the children.
When Rebecca grows up, she would like to be a nurse because she likes making people feel better, and “I want to learn how to give people medicines”. Our hope is that through Jumpstart!, Rebecca will be well-equipped to succeed throughout primary school, secondary school and may one-day become the best nurse in the district.
