It is because the school took the initiative, and did something never done before, for their students, that I am able to have accomplished all I have today. ucs went above and beyond for their students to provide quality education beyond borders. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have represented my school and my country overseas, and because of this my future is secure.”
Who would have imagined the lives that you
Could touch by starting such a venture
You have surely not only touched the students you taught
But also their families.
You really didn't have to do what you did
But because of the love that the Lord has
Bestowed upon you, you DID.
For some it was just a place where their parents
Sent them so they would not end up in the street
But for others it was a sanctuary and yet to others
It was a HOME.
I have been taught that "Home is where your heart it"
But I have also learnt that, "Home is where you find love"
The little prayers you made with us everyday
Have turned and groomed most of us today.
What seems like a joke to many
Has impacted the lives of so many in a way no one
Could ever comprehend.
It might not seem so in your eyes but
I know that each child that has
Been groomed and shown the right way
Will someday remember the teachings
No matter how far away they have gone.
I am honoured to have been taught in this school,
It was actually more than a school.
It became my Home, a place where I belonged!
