Our ministry has developed very rapidly. The simple beginning was on January 10, 2017 with one small room and just a few students. The number of students increased exceptionally quickly. A second building was soon rented and renovated. Old chairs were bought cheaply. School books and basic equipment were acquired and the first two teachers were hired. The school was given the name „School of Grace“.
After just six months, this building was also too small. A larger property was found. The owner was a Christian and happy about the new use of what had been his house. It is conveniently located in the Christian district of Youhanabad.
By the summer of 2018 we already had 200 students. In addition, 11 teachers and three other employees. The school is a bright, colorful building with a large school yard enclosed by a high wall. A security guard is employed as part of the school staff.
The funding for the school comes from Germany alone through donations to Himmelsperlen International e.V.
It consists of a kindergarten with three groups all in the same building: Play Group, Nursery and Preschool. The main school covers grades 1-10, making it a High School according to the Pakistani education system. The two school buildings are only a few minutes apart.
In August 2019 the second school building was opened for the then, 250 students. By the summer of 2020, the number of school staff had risen to a total of 30 people, 23 teachers, 7 other employees.
Every autumn we organize a children’s camp for all students. This is the highlight of the school year.
