Great News! One trainee graduated!!
Though there have been struggles due to the lockdowns, we have graduated a student!
Lawrence successfully graduated during the month of June 2021! Lawrence, one of our best students, overcame many challenges including having to drop out of formal education in Primary Seven due to family financial difficulties in paying school dues. He is one out of the three youth who came from Nwoya district, Lungulu Sub County, Panokrach parish and was the the first to successfully comple the course.
He joined our Motor Driving course and completed on the 6th June 2021 having met the requirements as he was examined by the Inspector of Vehicles (IOV) and obtained a Class B driving Permit.
Lawrence plans to operate a Pick-up vehicle to help transport farm produce from his district to the main business centre of Gulu City. The lockdown due to Covid 19 has not allowed him to currently operate. Through our routine follow-up phone calls, he has confirmed doing serious garden works as he waits for the lockdown to be lifted.
Work progress
Our Learn to Earn! Trades school training project has not lost track but is being delayed by the Covid 19 lockdown as schooling time is lost but we continue to follow our trainees.
The Micro project number two for ‘’Help Our Ship Come in’’ was funded and we await the delivery of the consignment of the refurbished tools and equipment to be supplied by the Christian of UK through Tools With A Mission (TWAM), which is due anytime in July 2021 as mentioned by the TWAM team in Uganda.
We held an orientation meeting with CARE International, an organization that intends to patner with us through bringing and supporting youth to our school in a five year project.
COVID Relief - Micro project
A COVID 19 micro project is due to be submitted to help support our trainees,tutors and their families before they resume studies after a tough lockdown here in Uganda.
