On Tuesday, 12th of February, 2019, JCCI management and staff left for the block granting commissioning at L.E.A Primary School, Angwan Kwaso, Tunga Maje. The block of 3 classrooms that was built by JOMUROTA COMMUNITY CARE INITIATIVES with funding support from CDC/IHVN under Educational Block Granting of FY18 grant year.

The Commissioning ceremony was a huge success, as representatives from IHVN and CDC, community leaders and chiefs, representatives from Gwagwalada Area Council and Education Board, including Angwan Kwaso L.E.A primary school management, teachers and the entire pupils of the school, as well as their parents were all in attendance to grace the occasion.

Mr. Erivona Philip, JCCI Project Finance Manager, who anchored the occasion, gave a brief success story on the block granting project. Thus in his words,

“Whenever the cloud is dark, the school closes for that day”. This, he said in reference to how poor weather condition used to interrupt learning experience as the pupils usually learnt under mango trees prior to the implementation of the block granting intervention. The soft spoken MC concluded the success story thus: “Today, we are no longer celebrating a block of 3 classrooms, but a resolution of a long lasting internal dispute regarding the land where this structure is put in place”.

The pupils thereafter gave several presentations as they showcased their individual talents and skills acquired over the course of learning during an entertaining session.
