Our favorite school teacher Madan Anisa called pupils from grade 4 to grade 9 to the school hall for important lesson. Every Wednesdays evening, we have this kind of assemble where madam Anisa shares important things for us to learn and do either at home or in our school.

"I live with my parents and two siblings" Peter answered. "I live with my aunt and cousins" said Anita. "I live with my grand parents" replied Juma.

"Good, we all live with our parents, grandparents and guardians. Today we are going to learn how to help them at home. They provide for us food ,shelter ,clothes and education to grow well. " Madam Anisa continue to speak.
