Summary:
“Being among the best choirs in Kilimanjaro region, New Dawn secondary school choir has made another history by singing in the big government event of launching of the Same- Mwanga- Korogwe water project which was officially launched by the Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan.”

On March 9, 2025 it was another marvellous day for our school’s choir. Our choir was invited to perform in the launching of the big water project called Same- Mwanga- Korogwe Project. The launching event was attended by our president Honourable Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan who officially launched the project. There were also other government ministers, Regional commissioners and other leaders.

The Same-Mwanga- Korogwe project will provide approximately 51.65 million liters of water to people across the three districts of Same, Mwanga and Korogwe by ensuring better access to clean water.
         
As the community we are so much excited and we thank God to see our choir developing. We can remember last year, we were invited to sing in the World Tree Planting Day whereby the guest of honour was the vice President of Tanzania, Dr. Phillip Mpango.

We thank our God so much for the favour he gave us.

In a recent video call with NDC USA Director Ron Sukut, Bishop Dr. Steven Mshomi, director of New Dawn Community in Tanzania, shared his praise for God’s favor that continues to cover the school, students, teachers and staff.

NDC Tanzania has been recognized and included with other private schools as well as State Government schools in the district to meet regionally. They have received academic and sports honors.

• The Youth have Aced their Midterms:  The Mid-Year exams taken by the 38 Form 4 students (seniors) are complete with 75% of the students receiving an A grade.
   
• The Government is ‘Recognizing’ our Nationally Ranked Instructors: Two teachers that have continued to show superior results at NDC Tanzania with their students. They have now been recruited to become State teachers for the Tanzania Government. This is due to their high standards in Math and Agriculture. While they will be missed by NDC this is a blessing for the county of Tanzania.
  
  
• Our Choir Won at the Regional Competitions: The student choir has been recognized as the top school choir in the region and continues to receive invitations to perform for both local and national events.
  
  
• Our Sports Teams are strong as well: The Soccer and Basketball teams are also top ranked in the region with strong performances.

New Dawn Secondary School

Summary:
“Every New year has new things”. This year 2025 New Dawn Secondary school has got New
Students who have come from various places of Tanzania coming to receive ordinary secondary level of four years.

In every year on January in New Dawn Secondary School we receive new students. This year we have received thirty-seven form one students from various regions around Tanzania. This year we reached other regions such as Kahama and Dodoma to give a chance for disadvantaged orphans who will be in our school to get secondary education.

The form one students are happy to see, join and be at New Dawn Secondary School because they were warmly welcomed with the other students, workers and teachers. The new students have already received the exercise books and the other basic requirements in order to start orientation. Form one students are thankful and happy to get the new family members at New Dawn Secondary School. We thank GOD that we have received our new family members who have already started to show up their talents in various areas like sports as this weekend they played a football match against form two and our New Form one class won by six goals. The class is charming and energetic and we do believe that with the help of God they are going to do great.

On Monday January 20th at Cornerstone Community Church in San Clemente we met to pray for our State, Country and the New Dawn Community ministry. Over 20 supporters attended including members of the NDC Board of Directors, volunteer staff members and ministry supporters.

Executive Director, Ron Sukut led the evening with an opening prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The group prayed for the Presidential Inauguration and our Government, for Martin Luther King Day of unity and Equality for all and for the Los Angeles Wildfire Victims and First Responder’s.

The prayer request focus then shifted to the New Dawn Communities:

• For the New Board of Directors, wisdom, efficiency, unity and inspiration.
• For the volunteer staff, strength, endurance, inspiration and enthusiasm.
• For the indigenous Leadership in both Kenya and Tanzania
• For the Form 4 Graduates that doors would open and favor be granted in their next opportunities.
• For the Form 1 students, enthusiasm and a smooth assimilation into their new life experience.
• For provisions and expanded partnerships for the New Dawn Community ministry.

Prayer was continued with a focus on the current ministry needs:

• A tractor for the farming project
• A bus for the student’s transportation to other school districts
• For provisions to be raised for adding Form 5 & 6 advance secondary classes
• Blessings to our current partners and supporters
• Provisions to fulfill and grow the mission to “serve widows and orphans in their distress”

“religion that is pure and undefiled before GOD and the Father is this, To visit the orphan and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world”

James 1:27
