A note about my last post…
On the drive home from Ndogo School, the Ardingly students were crying in the bus. Throughout the week, they had worked hard building a better school for the students and building strong connections with the Ndogo children, and this was the moment that it all came together for them. The Ardingly students had come together as a group at their own school to raise funds for their trip and donations for the school, and the impact of Ardingly on Ndogo School over the years is truly making a difference for the lives of children in both places. The long-term commitment Ardingly has made to Ndgogo School is what I think has made this project such a good one. All of the schools I have visited are grateful for any type of support or relationship with a school from the US or England, but it’s committing to a long-term relationship that will be most beneficial for both schools and all of the students.
