"First,
may I extend a very warm welcome to you. You are welcome to the very first
edition of the Healing Balm - Preston International School's own exclusive
magazine which will be published at the end of every term.
If you are absolutely new to the Preston philosophy, then you might find the
school a sort of oasis - giving hope to this generation and the future
generations of our great country. At Preston, our mission is to provide
cost-effective world class education and to raise fine, well-rounded,
well-educated, well-cultured, respectable, God-fearing ladies and gentlemen
who will make huge contributions towards the promotion and protection of human
dignity in our society.
The Healing Balm is published for the enjoyment of all who care about the
development of young people in our nation and very much unlike the traditional
school magazine, the Healing Balm is, just as the name suggests - an antidote
for societal ills, a soothing relief for the distraught and the disillusioned
and a powerful potion for agents of change and their supporters in our
country.
While the healing balm does feature news about Preston, it also reflects our
wider agenda for social change by featuring lots of articles contributed by
our students, teachers, parents and the friends of Preston.
The Healing Balm is also packed with fantastic educational resources for
students. We have also thrown in a bit of those wonderful historical accounts
that all Africans can be proud of. Lots of things have been said by our heroes
of yesteryears that we need to bring back to our memories. We hope you will
find a lot of the articles in this maiden issue inspiring and motivating such
that you will pass it on. Also, if you will like to subscribe to future
editions, you may fill in the tear-off slip on the last page and send it back
to us so that we will always reserve a copy for you. Happy reading!"
