Thanks Nelly for your appreciation although I did not participate. I hope the doors are not completely closed. I would like to share a small and disheartening experience I went through recently when out of sheer interest I interacted with five pupils of Ombaci Primary School, which runs the UPE programme. As I walked behind these pupils who were walking back home in the evening I became interested in their conversation and eventually and tectfully joined them. Three out of the five pupils said they were in level (P) 4 and the other two in P.5. As we went on I was to discover that all these pupils could not correctly spell their names and neither could they sing the letters of the alphabet...a,b,c,d,etc,etc. This raised quite an alarm in my blood and I thought if I had time I should find a way to disguisingly attend some lessons in a few UPE schools to gauge the gravity of this problem. Why I am raising this is since as CEFORD you have the FAL programme running through these schools, given the resources you may not target adults alone but all those interested. It is apparent that UPE which should have boasted of pupils achieving functional literacy seems to have failed on that basic. Wish you a Merry Christmas and prosperous 2011. Aggrey Adrale

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of CEFORD beneficiaries, Council, Board, Management, Staff and the communities we work with, to THANK YOU very much for your generous support to make the first CEFORD Anniversary Dinner beyond expectations. Special thank to the organizing committee and the specialized teams of website, Anthem, Magazine, documentary and every one who contributed and volunteered selflessly to make the day. Since this was the launch of a three year journey to mobilize resources for functional adult literacy to be established in primary schools inorder to improve performance, it is my sincere hope that as a community we shall take this forward. CEFORD will be happy to receive your ideas, comments, contributions... Again, thank you very much for your support.
