Back at Arise!
7th July 2017
We flew out from the UK earlier this week for another return trip to Arise School. As always, there was that moment of great relief when we got through immigration at Kilimanjaro Airport without being asked to open our suitcases!

Realising A Dream! Part 3
30th June 2017
Our last two blogs have focused on the development of Arise School in terms of the growth in pupil numbers and in classrooms. In order for the children to learn, children also need books, both text and story books. These are often in very short supply in Tanzanian schools and this was certainly the case […]

It was only a dream when they started to clear the ground for the first classroom to be built in 2012. From that small beginning, there are now seven completed classrooms at Arise School.

Since Arise School first opened its doors, Frank and Salome have been concerned to make sure that, as far as possible, the children’s health and general wellbeing enables them to make the most of their opportunity of education. It was good to hear from them very recently that the school received a visit from Government […]
