Abdalla is our oldest child at the GLO, along with his siblings Suomo, Salim & Hamisi he arrived at the GLO after his mother died giving birth, he is a lovely boy who worked on farms to get food for his siblings following his mothers death. Although Abdalla is about 15 years old he has not attended school for very long but as you can see from this account of St Bernadette Mary Summer Camp he is progressing very well in his written English and is a hard working, kind young man. He is not afraid to help Margaret on the Shamba and we are very honoured to have Abdalla as our oldest boy within the walls of The GLO.
On the 5th November we started our school summer camp, this was ever school summer camp.. We started our acting on Monday Morning. From first lower class which started from KG1 to Class 3 right through to the upper classes we started singing songs. that day I was very happy as a king.
The teachers also were playing football with the pupils. We had a short day which started at 7.30 to 12.30 afternoon. For these three weeks we have not done anything at school that we usually do but I was very happy to be enjoying ourselves at our first school summer camp.
My favourite activity was running a long distance like one hundred meter.
As we closed on 23/11/12 for Christmas holiday, I was very happy to have enjoyed myself and I will never forget my very first summer camp at St Bernadette Mary School.
Abdalla has a big heart and I have seen him helping his mama and caring for the younger children. GLO have helped him a lot in his confidence and I know he will be a fine young man and go on to be an asset to the community, and his siblings, as an adult. The Summer Camp is yet another great idea, I can see it being an annual event enjoyed by teachers as much as the children. I love your account of the activities Abdalla. X
We are all very happy and pleased by this boy the way he behave in the walls of Glo. Abdallah is kind, respectfully boy and always make sure he follows the instruction given .He is a good boy, friendly to other children and to visitors all the time.
Keep it up Abdallah the good behavior!!.
God bless you!!
Nice to see you all enjoying yourself, keep up the good work 🙂

Lovely story Abdallah,
Looks like you and your friends had a lovely time at summer camp. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

A great idea to include Abdalla in this year’s blogs . He is a kind, reliable and honest young man who takes his responsibilities seriously but carries them out with a smile on his face always ! Another one of the great people who make the GLO such a special place, he is a real role-model for the younger children and everyone admires his gentle manner. I am delighted they all had such a great time in the summer camp !
love to all ! Brendan xx
