The Impact of Family Backgrounds on Child Education
As I write this blog article, I flash back to my basic Social Study classes where my teachers taught that family is the smallest, basic unit of society. The importance of this statement is not far fetched and while I continued to grow in phases, I have come to learn indeed, with time, that family is.
I also remember randomly, a message by Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak where he taught about the seven mountains of influence. In that message, he entioned the mountain of family

5 Reasons why you should Volunteer at Tsion Academy
The day I decided to be intentional about living a life where my journey would be characterised by immense impact and growth, I discovered that volunteering would be an essential part of that life. To live that life, I ensured that volunteering became a personal thing for me and that is why I can tell you for sure that it is more than giving time.
I believe that volunteering is about giving purpose, and at Tsion Academy, volunteers are at the heart of transforming
communities, empowering students, and creating ripple effects that last a
lifetime.
In this article I though about using the letters TSION to compose five compelling reasons why I think you should volunteer with Tsion Academy. If you want me to go the extra length, I may consider writing another article using the remaining letters in Academy.

From communication and leadership to problem-solving and emotional intelligence, Tsion Academy provides a dynamic environment where you can sharpen abilities that stand out on any resume or life journey.

Many of the children and youth Tsion Academy serves face difficult circumstances. Your presence, commitment, and encouragement can serve as a powerful source of hope.

How can Parents be Involved in a Child's Education?
It’s not enough to consummate a marriage, conceive a child and go through the delivery process.
We all agree to the fact that parents have an important role to play
Celebrating World Children’s Day
Our governments have failed them. Should we do the same too?
20th November is World Children's Day and it marks the day when the member countries of the United Nations made an important promise to children, back in 1989.
It was called the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and it is a list of rules protecting children's rights across the world.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an important agreement by countries who have promised to protect children's rights. It explains who children are, all their rights, and the responsibilities of governments. All the rights are connected, they are all equally important and they cannot be taken away from children.
As it concerns us at Tsion Academy, the right of access to education belongs to every child. Primary education should be free. Secondary and higher education should be available to every child. Children should also be encouraged to go to school to the highest level possible.
And discipline in schools should respect children's rights and never use violence.
This year, we reflect as an institution and see that our nation has sadly failed our chilGren. And through the work we do, we hope to not only raise hopes but sustain them.
We know that our government has failed but we won't, so with your help, we choose to remain committed to helping children in low income communities get access to quality education at no cost.
