Earlier this year, Madam Grace Gasper Msechu of Mkwasa Secondary School was awarded a high honor from the Hai District. She was recognized as the best teacher in the district!
Madam Grace credits Mwangaza with helping her grow as a teacher.
“Following Mwangaza’s nonviolent communication training, I was able to foster deeper connections with my students,” she shared. “I treat them like my own children and they know I am like their mother.”
Madam Grace has been able to create a safe and emotionally supportive environment for her students, where they can share their challenges with her. “This inspired students to develop a positive attitude toward school and achieve academic and social success,” she says.
Being recognized by the Hai District as the best teacher is “a source of enduring joy,” Grace says. “I am grateful to Mwangaza for facilitating both personal and professional transformation. This award serves as a powerful motivation to act not only as an educator, but also as a parental figure to my learners. It has also inspired my colleagues to build closer bonds with students, creating a liberating and supportive atmosphere that drives academic excellence. Indeed, a safe school is attainable.”
