      <image:title>Blog - STORIES FROM ADULLAM NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL - SIERRA LEONE - Among the children at Adullam School is Isata. Isata lost her father at just two years old. She was taken in by her aunt, who was already struggling to care for her own children. The added burden strained the family, and eventually, her aunt’s husband left. With so little to go around, school was not possible. Her world was limited to waiting—watching others go to school without yet having the opportunity to begin her own journey. When she entered Adullam School, everything changed. For the first time, she sat in a classroom. She learned letters, numbers, and songs. She joined group activities and began interacting with other children in a structured learning environment. Slowly, her confidence began to grow. What was once waiting became learning. What was once uncertainty became possibility.</image:title>
