Mrs. Rakiya Ibrahim, HDFN Model School Coordinator greets
the HDFN children with members of the Essence PTA Executive
Committee: Mr. Kachalla, Maj. Aliyu, Dr. Bandele, Mrs. Abu
Ali
It appears
that the Essence PTA President, Mr. Kachalla, is always
prepared to teach a class. In all the upper primary grades,
he gave an impromptu oral current events test. And to our
surprise, the children were falling out their seats to
answer the questions! All of this was conducted in English,
which demonstrates that the HDFN students are receiving a
standard education. After Mr. Kachalla’s challenging
questions, the HDFN teachers later planned a special lesson
in current events.
The PTA executives held an informal chat with the HDFN
coordinator. She told them about vocational classes for the
children in sewing and catering. She also mentioned that we
are planning to extend our vocational classes to more
children who have dropped out or never attended school. It
was noticed that the HDFN has adequate ground area for
development. The uncompleted building (visible in the
background) behind the HDFN sculpture could be finished if
funds were available. This would allow the institution to
grow and organize more activities for the benefit of the
community, such as the recently introduced Adult Literacy
and HIV/AIDS Awareness class for women

President
