As the 2023-2024 academic year closes, we at Impactful Education reflect on a year of growth, learning, and transformation. Our objectives to empower the youth of Anyama through diverse educational programs have not only enriched the minds of our students but have also inspired them to become future peacemakers and leaders in their community. This year has been a testament to the power of education, and we are proud to share the stories and testimonials of our students whose lives have been profoundly impacted by their participation in our programs.
Our literacy program aims to cultivate a love for reading and improve literacy skills among our students. Throughout the year, we have witnessed remarkable progress in their reading abilities and a growing enthusiasm for literature.
Mariam attended our literacy activities with limited reading and comprehension skills. Over the months, she immersed herself in our guided reading sessions and book clubs. Her favorite book, "Le Petit Prince," sparked a newfound passion for reading. Mariam shares, "I used to struggle with reading, but now I look forward to our reading sessions. Reading has become my favorite activity."
Oumar, a quiet and reserved student, initially struggled with reading aloud during our group reading. With consistent encouragement and participation, Oumar's confidence grew significantly. He developed a particular fondness for historical novels, finding inspiration in the stories of great leaders. Oumar explains, "Reading has opened up a new world for me. I used to be afraid to speak up, but now I enjoy sharing what I have learned with my peers. I feel more confident every day."
Recognizing the importance of digital literacy in the modern world, our technology program provides students with the skills and knowledge to navigate and excel in the digital age. From basic computer skills to coding workshops, our students have embraced technology with enthusiasm.
Emmanuel, with no prior experience with technology, quickly learned basic computer operations through his participation in our after-school activities. Emmanuel reflects, "Before, I didn't know much about computers. Now, I can create a presentation using PowerPoint and do research on any topic I find interesting. I want to become a Cybersecurity Analyst one day."
Fatou started using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to create digital art and even started a blog about her culture. Fatou shares, "I used to be afraid of computers, but now I love using them to create and share my ideas. I hope to become a digital content creator and share the stories I write in my community."
As we celebrate the achievements of the past year, we remain committed to our vision to harness the power of education as a driving force to transform communities. The success stories of Mariam, Oumar, Emmanuel, Fatou, and many more inspire us to continue expanding our programs and reaching more students in Anyama.
