Despite the logistical difficulties of distributing food parcels under the many restrictions of the MCO, our Head Teacher with the assistance of our community focal points have managed to also ensure that children of CSB Learning Centres received their 'home learning' packs - each personalised to the ability level of every student. Our message to our students: keep reading, keep learning, keep dreaming....keep moving forward. Three of our students (pictured right: aged 5, 6 and 7yrs) were so excited to receive their home-learning packs that they immediately put on their school uniforms. Students from our 3 Learning Centres were on school holidays when the first MCO was put in place on 18 March. Refugees do not have the luxury of online based learning as many other children do, so our Head Teacher has been working around the clock to ensure that none of our students miss out on their opportunity to learn. The lasting impact of education is clearly evident with the enthusiasm of these three young students..
