“Mighty Oaks From Little Acorns Grow”
22nd April 2016
This week we were delighted to be invited back into Cronton C. of E. Primary School to meet with representatives of the School Council, a representative of the Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) and the Reverend Lynn from Cronton Mission Church which is an integral part of the school. Last year, the Cronton children […]
Can You Count?!!!
15th April 2016
We thought that you might like to see this short video that Ron took whilst at Arise School a few weeks ago. It shows the nursery or “ABC” class, as they call it, learning to count. The three and four year old children love singing, clapping and jumping so teacher, Veronica, takes advantage […]
Helping Older Young People Aspire and Achieve: Lucy’s Story
8th April 2016
Whilst the primary focus of ACE is to build Arise Community School and all of our fundraising goes directly towards that, the charity also supports several older young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to access or continue their studies either at secondary school or at a higher level. All are supported by […]
The Latest Additions to the Arise “Family”
1st April 2016
One of the things that has impressed us since the early days of Arise School is the fact that Frank and Salome always refer to the children and staff as the Arise “family”. This very much informs their approach and is reflected in the care and concern they show for the children both as individuals […]
A Full House!
25th March 2016
100% attendance at a glance! It may be a snapshot in time but, whilst at Arise School last Friday, Ron took this photo of the attendance board. It shows that every pupil on the school register was in school that day. There were no absences at all in any of the six classes. Quite an […]
Welcome Back Ron
18th March 2016
This week, Ron was very warmly welcomed back by the children and staff at Arise School. As always, as soon as they saw him, Ron was surrounded by the children. They invariably enjoy shaking hands with him, especially when he doesn’t let go! Ever since our very first trip to Tanzania in January 2008, we […]
The Dough Rises at Arise School

Following the success of out first “Buy a Breakfast” Appeal in the run up to Christmas 2014, since January last year, Arise School has been providing a simple breakfast to every child every day of the school year. This has been a great success and the children are always at school, patiently queuing and waiting […]
“From Dream to Reality!” In less than three years………
5th March 2016
As Ron prepares for his next trip to Arise School on March 16th., we are looking back at a video of the school that we took when we were there last November. The impression we both left with was then how much had been achieved in less than three years. In January 2013, the school […]
The Breakfast Boogie Tanzanian Style!
27th February 2016
In one of our blogs last October, we wrote about how the children of Cronton C of E Primary School, very generously donated the collections from their Harvest Services to ACE. As part of the younger children’s Harvest Assembly, children, staff, parents and other visitors wholeheartedly joined in singing, dancing and clapping to one of […]
Bringing Everyone Together: Arise School Daily Assembly
19th February 2016
Many of the children at Arise School are there by 6.30 a.m. They know that breakfast is served at 7 o’ clock and there is no way that they want to miss it in spite of the long distances that some of them have to walk. Once breakfast has been served, at 7.50 a.m., a […]
