- headmaster, Qurus Secondary School, Qurus, Tanzania

I am deeply grateful to JSFoundation and the students of Sint-Joris-Weert for helping us provide proper beds for our boarding students. Since gaining water and a Food Forest, more students are finding their way to our school, and we are proud to see our results improving in the regional rankings.

Through our school exchange, our students and the students in Belgium learn about each other’s lives and communities. Their sponsored walk raised the funds for beds for students who were still sleeping on a classroom floor.

It is beautiful to see this connection between our schools helping our children sleep better, learn better, and dream bigger.”

“Seeing our students learn, grow and improve—and knowing that children in Belgium walked to give them proper beds—makes me incredibly proud of what this friendship between our schools has created.”
