The photo to the right is of Pastor Noah (left) and Mmoti while they were in New York City. CL: How many high school students do you currently support?
Fr. Masai: We currently support 9 students. Five students are from the City of Dodoma. Two are from the town of Mundemu and two are from other villages.
CL: What year are they in school?
Mmoti: They are finishing their first year.
CL: When does their school year end?
Fr. Masai: It ends about now (the end of November) and begins early next year.
CL: Is that because it is summer in Tanzania now?
Mmoti: Yes.
CL: Do students have to take additional examinations during their high school career?
Fr. Masai: Yes, to stay in school they must pass examinations at the end of their second year. If they pass then they can study for two more years. If not, they do not continue their schooling.
CL: Do you expect to have more students entering high school for the first time next year?
Fr. Masai: Yes, we anticipate having a larger group of entering students (freshman) this next year. We don't know the number yet. It is these new students that we need Changing Lives to help us support.
