GHS NYASOSO EX-STUDENTS CELEBRATE THEIR SILVER JUBILEE+10 FROM MAY 22nd – 24th 2009 IN NYASOSO By Jerry Ehabe Nnange-Masango In the life of humans, institutions, associations, organisations and nations, there is the tradition of commemorating or celebrating certain periods. Most institutions fall in the bracket that celebrates 25, 40 and 50 years interval of existence called silver, ruby or golden jubilee. GHS Nyasoso, under the auspices of NEXSA, was supposed to celebrate her silver jubilee in 1999 but for some managerial inadequacies at the last minute. This failure had an attendant effect in that thereafter, the Association fell into inactivity. The moribund Association thus became overweighed by the debt of not celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Alma Mater. Renascent in 2007, the Association charted a road map that comprised, inter alia, the paying of the debt by organising the celebration of the botched silver jubilee 10 years after. From 22nd – 24th May 2009, Nexsans from fa

Thank you to al l for your contributions The Jubilee +10 and Graduation and Prize Award ceremonies have come and gone and while we wait for the Secretary General of the association to send out his elaborate report of the event as he has always done in the past, I want to herewith, thank members of the Diaspora who participated through our small but organized effort to make the events a reality. And to those who decided to participate directly with the Home Front rather than with the Diaspora Executive, we say to you thank you as well. The Diaspora initiative was based on achieving two goals; (a) to contribute towards the ceremonies, and; (b) to raise funds for the Diaspora Scholarship Initiative. Even though the amount we raised was disproportionate to the number of members we have in the diaspora, we still achieved our goals with the few members that participated. Even though the ceremonies have passed there are still enormous responsibilities we all owe to our alma mater. Each

The piece below is from another Nexsan echoing the plea of Anne Tembe himself an eye-witness to the dilapidating structure of our alma mater. Great Nexans, We can do something by taking actions; tha

Graduating into a Successful Life (A Paper presented on the occasion of the Graduation / Prize – award ceremony in GHS Nyasoso on 24th May 2008)      This presentation is done to help stimulate your minds and to set you thinking not only about your present success but your success into adult life. Some people go on through secondary / high school successfully while others drop out on the way. The question is – where do you want to belong? With those who have gone through and come out successfully or with those who dropped out and stayed down there? So far your education has been done in stages. The main purpose of primary education was to give you a basis for education in general – a herald to learning on another level. In secondary / high school the emphasis changes. There is so much to learn that you have to be offered, and to accept, what ever most people can agree on as a fact – and this is where your teacher comes in. He chooses, interprets these facts and comes out with se
