Educate Deserving Children in Uganda!

The students at Arlington Academy of Hope in Bumwalukani, Uganda have had great success.  100% of our students pass the National Leaving Exams at the end of 7th grade in the top 2 divisions and are able to go on to secondary schools throughout Uganda.  We are so pleased with the results, that we are now reaching out to other schools in the area and sharing our ideas and resources. 

Some of the areas in which we've contributed include the following:

• 135 books donated to two schools
• Money for student lunch subsidy
• Teacher training programs for the teachers at the outreach schools
• Exam preparation materals to help students prepare for their National Leaving Exams
• 14 secondary school graduates who are serving as volunteers at 6 schools.  These graduates have a 6 month time lapse between secondary school and post-secondary programs.  They have had some training from current primary school teachers and are using their skills to help out at nearby primary schools.
• Scholarships given to the outstanding boy and girl at several outreach schools for secondary school tuition

Recently we received the results of the national exam given to our students who had completed 6 years of secondary school.  The majority of the students in our program passed and will go on to university/college programs or vocational schools.  Most of the post-secondary programs begin in mid-August.  During the time from graduation until the beginning of the next school year, many of these students come back to the village to help out in the schools.

Your donation will help us expand these programs to include additional students in other schools.  We look forward to your continuing support to help fulfill the dreams of these deserving children.
