Dedication day for Cornerstone Schools

Last weekend, Cornerstone Schools was able to have a special time together.  Dedication day is a time when all of the students who are preparing to take state exams have a time of prayer together. It’s a culture that has for long been cultivated within the Cornerstone Schools. Three schools participated in this year’s dedication day. Cornerstone Leadership Academy Boys, Ekitangala Transformation High School and Ekitangala Primary school.

 It was a massive audience!

Early on Saturday 26^th , October: Cornerstone Schools took time to create a space for prayer together.  This year, Cornerstone Veritas greatly participated in the organization of the event. A team led by Gabriel from Emmaus Center (a Catholic retreat center whom we often partner with) presided over the whole function.  There was music, dancing, times of prayer, and a lot of fellowship together.

This was a great time of expressing different forms of faith, together.  The students are encouraged and strengthened through this time together as they prepare to do their national exams. Prayers are lifted by all  for knowledge, wisdom, hope and success in these exams. 

Now that dedication is done, all is left for the candidates is do their final studying and to get enough rest to be ready for the tests.

The Dedication Day was a great success. The Cornerstone Veritas team, as well as others invited to serve along side, did a great job, and saw their hard work pay off.  It was wonderful to see so many people mobilized to come out and encourage the students who are about to take a major life step.
