Misijska skola predana drzavi na upravljanje

U dogovoru s biskupom Livingstona, misijsku skolu smo predali drzavi. To je ucinjeno nakon sto smo procijenili da je misija svoj dio u otvaranju skole zavrsila te da je sad moze drzavna uprava voditi prema svojim standardima. „Nama nije nikada bila namjera da vodimo skolu na duze vrijeme i to nije ni praksa u biskupiji Livingstone“ receno je u pismu predaje skole. Misija je pomogla ljudima u vrijeme naseg dolaska kad nije bilo skole i kad je nepismenost bila opca pojava. Tada smo, na zamolbu domacih ljudi mobilizirali pomoc prijatelja misije i na taj nacin smo sagradili ucionu po ucionu. Poceli smo 2004 sa prvim razredom a sada je to vec renomirana skola sa devetim razredom s tendencijom napredovanja do zavrsnog dvanaestog razreda te se ucitelji natjecu koji ce biti poslan u Lusu. Drzava je uposlila pet ucitelja a misija je dodala jos tri. Misija trenutno gradi jos tri ucione iako je skola vec predana drzavi. Tako da ce se suradnja skole i misije i dalje nastaviti ali na drugacijoj razini.
Ovime jos jednom zahvaljujemo nasim dobrociniteljima na tome da smo mogli inicirati skolu u misiji. Predajom skole drzavi nismo nista izgubili znajuci da smo je osnovali iz ljubavi prema Bogu i ljudima ovoga kraja te da ona nastavlja s radom. Misiji ce skolska djeca, kao i njihovi ucitelji i dalje biti pastoralni izazov.

Pismo o predaji misijske skole drzavi

Dear Madam,

RE: LUSU MISSION BASIC SCHOOL TO BE HANDED OVER TO THE GOVERNMENT

We are glad to inform you that decision has been made for the above mentioned school to be handed over to the Ministry of Education with immediate effect.

In 2003, with coming of the Mission to Lusu, the local community had requested help from the Mission to help solve the problem with education of their children. This we tried to do with the help of the Catholic believers abroad who were sympathetically following development of Lusu Mission. The work was jointly done by the donations for construction together with voluntary work of the local people. The school was initially run as a Community School approved by the Ministry and supported by the Mission.
In 2004 the first 1x1 class room block was constructed and in 2005 a 1x2 class room block and a three bed room house for the teacher had been completed.
On 13th September, 2005, the District Education Board Secretary, Mr. Notulu N. Neville had recommended to the Provincial Education Officer upgrading of Lusu Community School to a Regular Basic School and soon after that he had sent Mr. Charles Muuka to be the first acting Head Teacher.
Since that time the school has been receiving teachers from the Ministry of Education along with the regular school grant. Today there are five Government teachers and three support teachers employed by the Mission: total of eight teachers with more than three hundred pupils in grades one to nine.
We are happy to see that the school is now in capable leadership of the Head Teacher
Rabecca Longwe (Mrs.) and her team and that the school is progressing well. This fact gives us assurance that the Mission has achieved its initial goal of helping the community in the matters of education. As a GRZ school, various Government supported funds and projects will be now open to the school which was not the case when it was called a “Mission School”.

Our intention never was to continue running the school but to bring it to the point when it can be handed to the Ministry of Education for regular running. The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Livingstone has agreed that this time has now come.

Needless to say, Lusu Mission doesn’t expect any financial or any other compensation for the investment. We did it for the love of God and the love of the people of Lusu area and that makes us happy.

Along with the two existing class room blocks, a new one which is currently under construction, water tank and one permanent three bed room teacher house we also hand over the land which the Mission has allocated to the school and boarders with the land allocated to the clinic.

We pray for God’s blessing and guidance for this school for the benefit of His children in Lusu area.

Sincerely

Fr. Boris Dabo
Priest in charge
