A Milestone

It is finally out! The Secondary School National Exam results were released on Monday, February 28th. Our first graduating class from CGA has officially completed high school. As we prayed this morning at CGA, we praised and thanked God for what he has done in the lives of these children. Many of them were not in school when Don and Nancy Richards found them in the village back in 1997 and decided to start teaching them. From those pioneers, CGA was birthed and is now serving almost 300 students in the primary school and another 100 in various secondary schools, and now… 15 high school graduates.

Before praying in the circle people began thinking about God’s goodness. Surely he is a “father to the fatherless, and a helper of orphans.” Without the help of CGA, some of these kids would have never even finished primary school. Now, they have not only finished primary school, but also secondary school. But they didn’t “just finish,” they excelled!

Over 350,000 candidates sat the exam throughout the country. Fifteen CGA students were among that group and sat the exams at their various secondary schools. Here are some of the highlights of the CGA students:

- All 15 candidates scored D+ and higher which qualifies them to go for further training.
- 11 of the 15 reached the minimum requirement for University C+ (top 25% of the country)
- 4 of our students scored B and higher (top 10% of the country)
- Two students scored high enough to qualify to attend University with the government’s support
o Cathorine Agiro scored a B+. This places her in the top 5% of the country.
o Winga Bill Clinton scored an A-. This places him in the top 2% of the country.
