National Asset Services is proud to be a supporter of UTU, an organization dedicated to empowering children through AIDS education and the provider of a classroom block, constructed in honor of Karen E. Kennedy’s mother, Pearlie Goodman. The school now serves over 300 students in Mgonapasi village, Malawi, Africa.
Before UTU's involvement, there was a classroom with no doors or windows and a student body of 120; the building was only 24'x40', so the overflow held lessons under a tree in the yard. Three years later with UTU's help, there are 3 building (duplex style) and an admin office, all with doors (lockable), windows concrete floors, desks, chalkboards, and supplies. Recent student body is close to 300... "Build it and they will come."
Mangapasi Primary is roughly 25 miles by dirt road from Mzuzu (town) in the northern Usisya area of Malawi.
The last mile to the school is traversable only with a four wheel drive vehicle. However, they have no vehicles and only a few bicycles, so travel is by foot in general.
In Malawi your progress is measured by your exams & ability. Children 7 years old have been seen learning the same lesson as a 17-year old.
There are six now, with some teachers doubling as administrators.
There is no doubt that one of the greatest gifts given is education, but the greatest impact for this community is the hope they have expressed, "people half-a-world away care about them".
