# The Beacon of Hope: A Story of Resilience at Bopoma Orphanage


*By Chiwara Lawson*


In the heart of Danda Village, Zaka District, stands a beacon of hope for the future: Bopoma Orphanage. Under the steadfast leadership of Mr. Kwangwa, the orphanage has become a sanctuary for eleven precious lives, each with a story of resilience and courage.


The children, ranging from the tender age of 10 months to the ambitious 18-year-old Agnes Moyo, find solace within the walls of Bopoma. Here, they are more than just numbers; they are dreams waiting to take flight. Despite the financial storm that looms overhead, the spirit of the orphanage remains unbroken.


As the sun rises, casting a golden glow over the village, the children gather for their morning meal—a simple porridge that sustains their bodies and fuels their determination. The absence of sugar does not dampen their laughter; it is the sweetness of their camaraderie that fills the room.


The two mothers, alongside the dedicated staff, weave a tapestry of care and devotion, ensuring that each child feels loved and valued. Their tireless efforts are the threads that hold the fabric of Bopoma together.


Yet, the challenges are many. The withdrawal of a major sponsor has cast a shadow of uncertainty, and the delayed social welfare disbursements have tested their resolve. But it is in the face of adversity that the true strength of a community is revealed.


Bopoma Orphanage stands as a testament to the power of unity and compassion. It is a call to action for those who believe in the potential of these children, for those who see the spark of greatness within their eyes.


Let this story be a clarion call to the world: to uplift, to support, and to join hands with Bopoma Orphanage. Together, we can turn the tide of their fortunes, ensuring that the beacon of hope burns brightly for years to come.


For it is in giving that we receive, and in supporting these young souls, we become part of their remarkable journey toward a brighter tomorrow. 🌟🤝🌼

Plan: Warm-Up (5 min): Draw a borehole, ask in Shona: “Wakamboona chinhu chakashata?” Kids say: “No water!” Say: “Write to fix it!” Activity (40 min): Give handout, explain in Shona: “Mushumo is for headmaster.” Model report: “This report is about the broken borehole.” Pairs write about a dirty classroom. Try letters: “Hello, how are you?” Kids write to friends. Wrap-Up (5 min): “What’s easy?” They say: “Templates!” Homework: Write a letter. Takeaway: Low TTT, local examples, and templates work.
