Our special school
Juwayiliya Bunaya
Yankho Jere

In a small village in Malawi, there was a special school.

It was called Chiko, a short name for love.

1

Our school was a place of hope and love.

It was a school for orphans like me.

2

Our school was surrounded by colourful flowers.

There were bright reds, sunny yellows, and peaceful blues.

Our school was a happy place.

3

The staff gave us free food and school uniforms.

It made us feel safe and loved.

4

Without this school, I would not have known how to read and write.

I wouldn't have learned to add numbers or discover exciting stories in books.

5

The teachers and staff at our school were like family.

They made us feel important and cherished.

6

Every day at our school was a new adventure.

We learned the value of helping others and being grateful for what we had.

7

My school taught me not only how to read and write but also how to be a better person.

It showed me that with love, kindness, and education, we could overcome anything.
