Dear Friends in Western Iowa Synod,
Peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon your hearts. Igumbilo teachers and the students are doing good. We thank God for His infinity Mercy. Yes, here we are, after the unexpected holiday of 100 days or three months.
We call the Covid-19 holiday; however, this is a difficult time we have experienced ever. We stayed without salary for three months. Life was very difficult for workers because the school depends on school fees as the source of income. But Thank God life has returned to its course.
Igumbilo Lutheran Girls Secondary school currently it comprises of 32 workers teachers and non-teaching staff. We have 132 first-year students or called Form One 2020, We have 120 second-year students or Form Two, there are 69 Form Three and 124 Form Four students, totalling 445 boarding students.
This is a big number of students. There is great demand. God bless you all! (Mungu awabariki!)
Igumbilo Lutheran Girls' Secondary School (ILGSS) Partner Project
This effort provides capacity-building educational opportunities for young women who often do not have equal access to other educational opportunities within the country. Yet, it is women who are the proven sharers of such education, resulting in wider economic development of their families and communities. This project provides scholarships to the neediest of students and educational resources such as laboratory equipment, mosquito netting, laptops and textbooks.
Please contact Rev. Dr. Mike Kroona, Assistant to the Bishop, with any questions: mike.kroona.rev@wisynod.org or call 712-732-4968, ext. 443.
