Meet Principle Daniels
Many African children, mostly boys, go to district schools.
Girls go if there is room
in the class and if funded by a local church or charity. It is not
considered necessary to educate girls, for in many African cultures
girls have little value because they often die young from childbirth or
violence, and being future mothers, they contribute little to the
economy other than a liability.
Children attending school must wear
uniforms. Sometimes parents can buy a uniform or shoes, but not both.
During the assembly, Mr. Daniels asked
the children to pray for all the children who died in their town during
the week.
At Nederburg School, there are 600
students in grades K - 7. The first thing Principal Daniels taught the
children was to hide on the floor when gang fights broke out and
bullets entered the classroom. He repaired over 800 bullet holes in
the school windows resulting from 6 rival gangs fighting over in whose
turf the Nederburg School resided. Nederburg School is prime territory
for the gangs because the children became hunted prey and are
exploited for drug sales, prostitution, and even kidnapping.
Today there here is peace at Nederburg School…How?
