""I stopped missing classes because I can now sit on a desk.”"

My name is Yotham Ngwira, a Form One student at Maghemo Secondary School. I come from Mwambuli Village T/A Kyungu, Karonga. Before the school received the new desks, I sometimes missed classes because sitting on the floor made learning uncomfortable and boring. It was difficult to concentrate, and I often felt discouraged from attending lessons. Things have now changed. I have a desk where I can sit comfortably, write my notes and follow lessons like other students. I no longer have a reason to miss classes because of the lack of a desk. I am grateful to Together for Change and all the donors who made this possible. Your support has made a real difference in my education.
