By Kyomuhendo Grace | Ag. Project Leader
I want to extend my greetings to our donors, friends, and well-wishers who continue to support the project. I am happy to report to you, that the children are all at school for the third and final term of the year. Asiimwe and Prossy are sitting for their Ordinary Level certificate this term. If they perform well, they will be able to join College for Certificate courses that will prepare them for their future career. I am glad we have supported them this far.
The rest of the children, Tayebwa, Bright, Kenema, Kirabo, Evas, Tumwine, Gladys, Nsimenta and Natasha will be sitting for their promotional exams and will join a higher class when the schools open for the next term in 2018. We have had challenges maintaining them in school this year but I am still glad we have come this far. The children's fees remain unpaid to date and we continue to call for support. The year has generally been challenging but the project continues to benefit from Mr. Niwagaba's kindness and interest in the project. He has continued to support the project financially even now when he is away. We have for the period between August 2017 to date directly benefitted from his stipend in Sweden to continue providing for the children's needs including putting food on the table.
The Project Leader is currently away to pursue a MSc. Development Studies on scholarship in Sweden. I will be standing in for him and we are hopeful that we that we as an organization will have a lot to benefit from his international experience. The Project is here to stay. We are currently vetting two young girls that will take up the vacant positions to fill the working number. Sadly we will not grow beyond 15 children next year BUT we are happy to continue making our contribution to shaping and giving these children a future. Project continuity will be achieved with your help and support especially as we enter the festive season and eventually the new year.
