Greetings,

The school year for 600 children started out with great excitement as backpacks, school supplies and uniforms were provided to the girls and boys attending the Bwetyaaba Primary School. 

In the words of Stephen Ssemutumba, Executive Director of the Butakoola Village Association for Development (BUVAD), the day was a big success:

Many many thanks for the donation. That transfer was well received and the donations were delivered on 10th Feb 2015. It was great excitement all over and that day was donations day until dawn. The parents and guardians, the parents school management committee of Bwetyaaba Primary School, BUVAD staff, the teachers and well-wishers were present.

600 children received backpacks and supplies, 2 thunder arrestor systems were set up; one on another classroom block and the other at the school chapel as advised by the school management committee, and 80 girls and boys received school uniforms.

I wish to extend to you the many thanks from the children, the school teachers at Bwetyaaba Primary School, their parents and guardians for this support. Everybody said thank you very much to GBP and all of those that made this donation.

Many many thanks Always!

Stephen
