The Angel Projects of America is happy to report that the Rubuguri area of Uganda remains COVID-free! Justus, general manager of Angel Projects Uganda (APU), continues to work tirelessly with his team to keep the local community safe and healthy. The team has continued installing new tippy-taps (handwashing stations), keeping the previously installed tippy-taps well stocked, and educating the local villagers on best practices for staying healthy.
In addition, the children in our program have all returned to school, and through the support of our generous sponsors, they have all been fully funded with school fees and supplies. They are very excited to return to school, and we are confident that they will be completely prepared, having gone through APU's tutoring program throughout the lockdown. This has only been possible through the selfless volunteering of local teachers who have worked alongside APU staff members to provide the children in our program with free education during the pandemic.
Finally, the ladies of APU's women's program are back to work, following all necessary safety protocols. APU's job projects include farming, sewing, and baking, among others, and the women are so happy to be back to work, earning money to support their families. They are very grateful to our sponsors who supported our feeding program during the lockdown to provide families with food and other essentials at a time when they were not allowed to work outside the home.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support--we'll continue to get through this pandemic together!
