What we have learned: The Swazi people understand that education helps them have a better life. Many children do not attend school because it is not required and it is not free. The Church of the Nazarene has started many Christian schools in Swaziland where children can learn how to read, write, think, and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Children learn that God gives all people unique talents and abilities.
