A service unique and exclusive – rarely available even for a fee – is The DEDUNU After School Service for school-going children from the ages of ± 05 years to 11 years.

The children – both boys and girls - trail in to a specially assigned section at DEDUNU at staggered times from about 13H30 to 14H00 daily after their school sessions in the morning. It is indeed a pleasant sight to see these little scholars wearily walking through the DEDUNU gates in their white – and most often ‘not so white’ uniforms - to be gently coaxed by the matronly Senior Assistant at DEDUNU to bathe or wash, before letting them rush for their mid-day meal.

 

 
 

It is a treat to the eyes to witness these little people relishing their meal, ‘devouring’ their food like hungry wolves! The DEDUNU rules strictly prohibits waste; abiding by this stricture - every morsel served on to their plates is heartily eaten – remarking from time to time the virtues of a ‘clean plate’ – all this more to please the Senior Assistant who is overseeing them at the Lunch Table!

Soon after their lunch – they are encouraged to take a nap – and then waking up around 16H00 to a refreshing mug of chocolate with milk before they begin their homework or English lessons with the assistance of a special part-time teacher.

Eventually they escape for some play with the Pre School kids – and soon it is time to go home – as their parents return to fetch them at or about 18H00.
