CHILDRENS CENTRE DAY

It was a day of learning, refreshment and interaction. That was the centre day that took place a few weeks ago. Centre days are days when we meet with the children to do a number of activities depending on what has been scheduled. Its a time we get for children to interact with our volunteers and counselor where necessary. We engage them in games, sports, academic revision, spiritual development sessions etc.

Right now we don't do a large variety of games because our play items are few. We also realise we need more educational materials like text books, story books etc to enrich our time with them. We shall be buying these little by little but any contribution to this would be greatly appreciated.

In this particular centre day, we distributed educational materials to the children which included books, pens, pencils and mathematical sets for those in higher classes. Our other focus was on spiritual formation. We shared with them key values that they need to succeed in life. Oh, how they enjoy singing church songs and nursery rymes. It was a fun time!

Our family empowerment move goes on. Here is one of the families that have benefitted from the economic empowerment programme. the child is Kadiya and in the picture, her mother is taking care of the pig that was donated to the family. Piggery is one of the best income generating projects in rural areas because pigs produce up to ten piglets at once.
The animals continue to rotate among the families.
As the families have their incomes increase, they will be able to give better care to the children. This will ensure greater impact.

It was visiting day for Davis Nuwagaba, one of the supported children who is in a boarding school, we went there to have a chat with him and encourage him in his studies. He is one of the 5 candidates in the programme who are completing primary school level this year. We found him doing well. We encouraged him to give his best and look forward to a bright future.
Here our volunteer chats with him in his class.
