点评:We spent one day at St Jude’s with our two children and were so impressed! The students were incredibly warm and welcoming, eager to hold hands, practice English, and share their school with us. Our kids loved playing soccer, doing art and music, and enjoying lunch and ginger tea with the kids. The day included a campus tour, several short presentations on their history and programs, lunch/recess/class, and a home visit with a student.
The staff was exceptionally accommodating and informative. They coordinated a driver for us to and from our hotel and stored our luggage while there. They also have a fabulous donation team that provided an Amazon wish list so we could bring a suitcase full of needed books and made it easy to contribute a pre made student pack of school supplies and a home pack of oil, sugar, salt, a solar light and other basic needs. Of course we brought a few soccer balls too!
The home visit was especially eye-opening and highly recommended. Seeing the poverty faced by the surrounding communities really brought home how profoundly a St Jude’s education can change a child’s future - with support from grade school to college and into their early careers.
This was one of the most meaningful parts of our Tanzania trip. St Jude’s is a shining light, providing life-changing opportunities through education. Highly recommend visiting or considering sponsorship of a student!
翻译:我们带着两个孩子在圣裘德学校度过了一天,印象极其深刻!那里的学生们热情友好,主动与我们握手、练习英语,还热心地带我们参观校园。我们的孩子则喜欢和当地的孩子一起踢足球、进行美术和音乐活动,还一起享用午餐并品尝姜茶。当天的活动包括校园游览、关于学校历史及课程的简短介绍、午餐与课间休息,我们还跟随一名学生回家做客。
学校的教职工也极为体贴周到且乐于解答各种问题。他们为我们安排了往返酒店的专车,还在我们逗留期间帮我们寄存行李。他们有一个非常出色的捐赠团队:该团队提供了亚马逊心愿单,让我们能够带上满满一箱所需的书籍;同时也方便我们捐赠预先准备好的学生用品包,以及包含食用油、糖、盐、太阳能灯等生活必需品的家庭用品包。当然,我们还带了几只足球!
这次家访尤其令人大开眼界,强烈推荐给大家。看到周边社区所面临的贫困状况后,我深切体会到圣裘德学校的教育是如何从根本上改变一个孩子的未来——从小学到大学,乃至职业生涯的起步阶段,学校都给予孩子们全方位的支持。
这是我们坦桑尼亚之行中最有意义的环节之一。圣裘德学校犹如一盏明灯,通过教育为孩子们创造改变人生的机会。强烈推荐大家去参观,或者考虑资助一名学生!
