Statement by Gwanda Residents Association
Today in Gwanda we proudly witness the official hand over of the completed Gwanda Adventist Primary School to the community of Gwanda.
As residents of Gwanda, we want to thank the Seventh Day Adventist Church for a job well done and for choosing us as Gwanda for this milestone of a project.
For years the community of Gwanda has been making calls to government, council and other private participants particularly churches for a need of another two primary schools and a high school as our current schools can no longer cope.
We thank the SDA Church for listening to our cry and giving this wonderful gift to the people of Gwanda.
The gift does indeed meet a very critical need where all our primary schools have been having ballooning classes of up to 60 pupils in a class a situation which inevitably spells failure for both our children and our institutions.
We are more than proud and grateful to the SDA Church community in Gwanda and the world over for this recognition and for being part of us as Gwanda.
On behalf of the residents of Gwanda and the community as a whole we wish God would continue to bless and multiply abundantly to all the hearts that gave to this project and bless all the hands that helped in the construction of the school and all those who prayed and wished for the success of the project.
We also would like to thank our local authority and City Fathers for making available the land for the construction of the school and giving support to the church as it undertook this expensive venture.
The challenge, however, still remains open to all other private players and churches to invest in the education of our children in Gwanda. There is certainly still a need for yet another primary school as our population evidently grows at a higher rate than our available services can meet.
Finally, we would like to urge all our residents in the Spitzkop area to put this facility to full use by enrolling they children at the school. As always, we encourage parents to enrol their children at a school nearest to them to avoid congesting one school and force our children to travel long distances to school.
We continue to pray and engage other players to invest in service provision in our town so that in the nearest future all our residential areas will have a school and other essential service facilities within their vicinity.
Once again many thanx to the SDA Church may God bless you Brethern.
