ZŠ Victoria School is one of the partner schools supporting the Island of Hope and children's education in Kenya. The school supplies produced by Victoria are already helping in classrooms across the first grade, and some are also available at the orphanage. The game of pairs has also brought great joyThank you very much.

"The whole month of September, our school was absorbed in the project Jambo Africa, which we prepared in cooperation with the organization Narovinu Centre. In the preparatory phase, the children learned the Jambo Kenya song, made teaching aids and poster designs for the African meeting of pupils, teachersand parents. At the beginning of the month, we hung the Kenyan flag and an exhibition of photos from Kenya in our school, which we enjoyed throughout September. During the week of September 20 to September 24 we lived in Africa intensely, with African workshops led by the Narovinu Centre in each classroom, with African themes covered in all subjects. And the highlight of the week was Friday's online link-up of each second grade class with African children on Rusinga Island. The online linking was also included in the program for the final African session.

At this meeting, our children sang African songs to their friends and talked about various topics. There was no end to the questions. No one wanted to go home. In the last week of September, the Kenyan flag was still flying on the school premises, and African rhythms were still ringing in the morning. Our pupils finished making teaching aids which were handed over to the Narovinu Centre. We are all happiest about the adoption of an African girl, Evaline, who we managed to adopt thanks to the voluntary contributions of parents of our children. What to say in conclusion? The project was beautiful, the cooperation with the Narovinu Centre was perfect, and the feedback from pupils, teachers, and parents was very positive. Thank you so much to everyone at the Narovinu Centre and the coordinators in Kenya. It makes a difference!

Take a peek into the first-grade classroom. Dad introduces the whole family and shows us the land where they live – one small house is used as a kitchen, the other is a living room. Learn what it means in practice to have a "family business." And Bentoline will show you what he likes to play with. Even on Rusinga Island, the kids are bouncing rubber.

For many years, one of our adoptive parents has been the Semafor Theatre, which led its sponsored girl to adulthood and successful high school graduation last year. Therefore, this concert is symbolically dedicated to the Island of Hope and its coming of age this year. Thank you for your tremendous support Divadlo Semafor and Praha Vyšehrad.

“Dear Centrum Narovinu, admirable Dano and Simono, dedicated volunteers, all of you who participate…  I wish you all that your endless commitment and need to ‘do good’ and help would never leave you. Thanks to your ideas and unceasing efforts, may other Kenyan children have a chance at a better life with education. With your energy, you help turn for the better and direct a society-wide awareness of what all individuals can bring when they don't just think about themselves and get involved. May the forces not leave you and you will be accompanied by the joy of all children who, thanks to you, got a chance at a better life. All adoptive parents deserve thanks and wishes for all the best. I am happy to be and can continue to be part of such a meaningful, successful project. Happy birthday!” #BaraMunzarova

Thank you for the beautiful wish for your 18th birthday and we look forward to meeting Bara again soon at performances at the Frída Theater Association and the Kalich Chamber Theater.

"I had already the idea of a distance adoption in my head for a while. About 18 years ago, I had an eleven-year-old boy from India adopted for 3 years. During the school year his father suffered fatal injuries while working hard in the woods, and little Ramy had to leave school to start working and support the rest of the family. I was very sad and anxious at the time. Five years ago, I started the distance adoption again. I accidentally clicked on the Centrum Narovinu project on the internet, and when choosing children, I was fascinated by the story of Edward Osochi Uiru, who stood out a bit with age and height. His original adoptive parent could no longer support him at the age of 15, and Edward was in danger of continuing to attend school. Edward's family relationship was and still is also very difficult. He lives only with his mother, who has a physical disability. I felt internally like I was just following my previous adoption up. Edward is now successfully studying at a high school in the Island of Hope on Rusinga Island and has been eager to become a pilot since he was a child. His sincere gratitude in every letter he sends me is endless. We often slightly philosophize about life together in correspondence, and I rejoice as a 15-year-old boy, a bit lost, grows into a healthy, intelligent young man who goes step by step for his dreams. At the same time, I am filled with an unadulterated, immense inner joy of being able to help and give Edward a chance for education and therefore for a free life."

Thanks to her, she finished primary school and is now studying at secondary school. “I am grateful to be part of a team that conveys hope. A beautiful message that speaks of unity and our interconnection… And if I can only help a little, it is completely natural and obvious to me.”
