The father of seven daughters shed more tears after his daughters, clothed in tatters, were given full uniform and shopping by school principal, Robert Aran and Board of Management Chairman George Mokaya.”I walked to both MCA and MP’s offices asking for bursary but was told to wait until second term. I feel let down by leaders we voted for,” he said.Mr Aran said the school was touched by the story of the bright students.”As a school we provide opportunities for students to become socially responsible lifelong learners through a safe, nurturing and challenging learning environment,” he said.Aran said the school provided all requirements needed for a student to be admitted at the institution and called on well-wishers to support the girls.
Mr Mokaya said the scholol’s board would ensure the girls lack nothing to enable them concentrate on their studies.”The most important thing is to see the girls in school learning and protect them from early marriage,” said Mokaya.The girls thanked the school for admitting them. “We shall give our best to emerge victorious after four years in the school,” said Chizi and Kwekwe, who want to become doctors.
