Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Jacaranda School for Orphans founder and director, Marie da Silva expressed dismay and deep distress over the collapse of structures for Namiwawa Primary School along the road to Sanjika Palace in Blantyre and appealed to alumni and other well-wishers not to wait on government but reach out to assist some of the challenges being faced at the historic school.<\/p>\n

She said this at the launch of Luc\u2019s Library, which Jacaranda School\u2019s executive director Luc Deschamps offered for the school that Da Silva attended from 1968 when she was nine years old.<\/p>\n

Da Silva was guest of honour being an alumnus of the school when it was called Dharap and she said she has attended many launches of Luc\u2019s libraries but this one was special to her heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis used to be a sort of exclusive primary school in Blantyre but it saddens me to see the state it is in,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was founded a long time ago and one would expect it to be far much better than it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, the school\u2019s structures are in such a sorry sight and needs urgent attention to, thus I call on former students and other well-wishers that we should do something about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe positive thing is that the school is still operating \u2014 kids are attending their studies and the teachers are dedicated to their work. If we intervene we will contribute towards their bright future under conducive environment,\u201d she appealed.<\/p>\n

An inspection of the school showed that all the blocks need a new coat of paint; their window panes and doors needing replacement and in most classes, the learners sit on the floor.<\/p>\n

Da Silva said Jacaranda received some single student desks from their donors and thus pledged to donate to Namiwawa over 100 double desks they were using before.<\/p>\n

Luc\u2019s Library has added some beauty after Jacaranda painted the part of the block it is being housed; decorated the walls; replaced all broken window panes; fixed its electricity and furnished the room with reading desks, benches and book shelves.<\/p>\n

It was stocked with 1,100 books of all kinds \u2014 academic and otherwise and they were sorted out on the shelves according to the reading levels of the children.<\/p>\n

Da Silva also urged her fellow alumni and other well-wishers to consider donating books to the library which their children no longer need to inculcate the culture of reading which Luc\u2019s libraries aims at.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids need to read of developments taking place in the rest of the world and that is through reading. Books also refresh the young minds and help them to gain so much knowledge and skills that can help them achieve good academic results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the 23rd Luc\u2019s Library, Deschamps said they are still working on opening other school libraries in Blantyre and beyond and that they will turn others into centres of excellent where talented Jacaranda secondary students would be engaging and training primary learners in various skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have students at Jacaranda who suggested that they could visit some schools and using their Luc\u2019s libraries to train the learners in special skills such as art, music, chess to brighten their minds and other mind refreshing activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat impressed me was that it was the Jacaranda students themselves that made this wonderful suggestion, which we have embraced because it will help them bond well with various learners from different backgrounds,\u201d said Deschamps \u2014 who is also the French Embassy attach\u00e9 to Malawi.<\/p>\n

The Luc\u2019s Library initiative \u2014 done in collaboration with various donors for Jacaranda Foundation outreach programs \u2014 is reaching out to over 55,000 children in Blantyre and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to foster a reading culture among children in Malawi \u2013 and support the work of Ministry of Education,\u201d Deschamps said. \u201cThe 1,733 learners of Namiwawa Primary School \u2014 885 girls and 848 boys \u2014 now have a quality library where they can improve their reading skills and borrow books.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Luc\u2019s Library are at the following primary schools: Nayizi in Bangwe; Chiradzulu; Mbayani 1; St Pius; Kanjedza; Limbe Primary; St Maria Goretti; Makata in Ndirande; Nkolokoti; Bangwe Catholic; Kapeni; HHI Primary School; Misess and Chigumula.<\/p>\n

Others are community libraries at Pensulo Village (Blantyre); Kusewera Village (Lilongwe); Wandikweza Health Center (Dowa); Jacaranda Cultural Center (Blantyre, Top Mandala); Trade Fair Gounds in Blantyre (Stand 82) and Chemboma Village, Chigumula.<\/p>\n

There are some children library installed at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital\u2019s Paediatric Ward and Patsogolo Education Center for special needs children.<\/p>\n

Jacaranda Foundation, that operates free primary and secondary schools for over 400 orphaned learners in Newlands, Chigumula, is doing wonders for its learners and in April last year it became the first school in Malawi to be awarded full scholarships to five of its students to study Bachelor of degrees in prestigious African universities in Botswana, Kenya, Mauritius and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The five were David Mandiwa (in Biological Sciences at University of Botswana); Katie Kaonga (Social Sciences at Africa University in Zimbabwe); Harry Goliyo (Computer Sciences at African Leadership University in Mauritius); Idah Geoffrey (Entrepreneurship also at African Leadership University in Mauritius) and Franklin Rashid (Applied Computing at United States International University in Kenya).<\/p>\n

This is in its 18th year of keeping orphaned children in school and more than over 100 of its graduates have go on to various colleges in Malawi such as the Catholic University; Malawi College of Accountancy; the Polytechnic; Malawi Institute of Tourism; Malawi Adventist University; Malawi Assemblies of God University \u2014 just to mention a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought that our students would be receiving full scholarships to international universities in Africa,\u201d Da Silva had said last year. \u201cThese students have come a long way with some of them starting school at Jacaranda at 6 years old in Standard 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd all were coming from very underprivileged homes. I am very proud of them. Those are amazing scholarships.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020, two of Jacaranda\u2019s 2017 Malawi School\u2019s Certificate of Education (MSCE) graduates, Clement Kammwamba and Reuben Salima, were sent to the USA for a semester Accelerator Program at Watson Institute in Boulder, Colorado where they were to develop social entrepreneurship skills.<\/p>\n

This was not their first time to travel abroad as in 2016 they attended the Otis College Summer of Art program in Los Angeles and in 2017, they also travelled to Shanghai, Beijing, New York City and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
