You are all welcome to God's Glory Children Foundation new blog post




If you have been following us on our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gods-Glory-Children-Foundation/228493737214708) or on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYvKiqyLvvI), you will have heard about the OUR DAY celebration at Maranatha Prep School supported by God’s Glory Children Foundation. In this new post we would like to tell you more about this celebration. 




First of all the Our Day celebration is held 3 times a year. It always takes place on the last day before the school vacations begin. 


As the word suggests it is a day meant for the children to enjoy (Our Day) meaning day for the students. The first two Our Day celebrations of the year are smaller events; however, the last Our Day celebration which occurs before the summer holidays is the biggest. On this day the children receive their final school reports and are moved up one class (if the grades permit). Thus is signifies the end of the school year (which surely gives a meaningful purpose to the celebrations). 


On each Our Day the children are allowed to dress in their own home clothes. Many students come in very nice traditional dresses and make an effort to look their best for this day. It is celebrated by having loud music and dance competitions as well as other fun activities. The school grounds are transformed into a large dance platform and teachers become DJ’s and friends. Also the children eat together. All are relieved to have finished the stress of exams that came before and look forward to the holidays ahead. 


Our Day is not only the favourite day of the year for the students, but also for the staff and any present volunteers. Volunteers that get the chance to experience Our Day will have a day full of fun and joy as they experience their students dancing and performing.
