JBFC's Star Students

We've reached the mid-point in JBFC's school year. Our students at Joseph & Mary have been hard at work trying to maintain our reputation for having 100% of our students passing the Tanzania national exam - a title we've held for two years in a row.

To encourage and inspire, Joseph & Mary's Headmaster, Samo Matiko, with a little help from some JBFC volunteers from the US, honored the top three students in each class with mid-year awards. In a school of nearly 300 primary and secondary students, quite a few JBFC kids earned high marks.


And the winners are....


JBFC Girls rule 3rd Grade! All three top spots went to JBFC's residential girls. 
We have high hopes for these young ladies.

 Zai, 1st Place



 Rachel, 2nd Place



Salome, 3rd place



4th grade: Laurencia, 1st place 
Lau not only won first in her class, but also aced her mock national exam, placing first.



5th grade: Danny, 3rd place
The JBFC boys are also showing off their big brains.




6th grade: Leticia, 2nd place




Form 2: Saleh, 1st Place



Imelda, 3rd Place



Congratulations to all of our star students!
