Jacky Munezero, who is doing a tailoring course with FALCCO support will be completing her 2-year course end of Nov. 2014. She poses here with a white shirt that she has designed herself. We believe she will be a pillar of hope and support to her family when she finishes.
Our plan for her after school is to assist her get her own tailoring machine so that she gets self-employed. One machine costs about $150. Contributions to that effect would be highly appreciated. In the meantime, we will do our best to get her somewhere to work for another person. Secondly, she obtained some computer skills which she hopes to improve on so that she may be more competitive in the job market.

HELLO THERE

It was another letter writing season full of fun and interaction. The children always look forward to the time when they can write to their sponsors...and hear from them where possible. We shared a snack with them and they set out to write. This communication continues to do wonders to their self esteem because children feel great knowing they have a friend in "Outside countries" as they love to call it!

Parents pay attention as our volunteer stresses a point.

SEPTEMBER ACTIVITIES

We had fruitful discussions with our children's parents and caregivers to get feedback about the children's welfare at home and also to discuss their report cards for last term. Generally the parents told us about the high motivation they see in the children concerning their education and how they are practicing the health habits that we taught them recently. One parent went..."My child asked me to buy him a handkerchief because you taught him that he should always have one and that when you meet him with it he will get a present!"

Holiday time activities

It was a great feeling for the children to get a month off for holiday. They can now help out at home with grazing, cooking and some gardening for the older ones. Last saturday was fun at office as we received feedback from the children about the last term. We looked through their reports and discussed with them individually about their perfomance and general school experience. Generally, there was improvement in the perfomance of all the children.
They also had time to watch educational music videos, cartoons and drama on the office computer.
We thank all our partners and sponsors for the support. The new school is really making a big difference in their learning experience!

End of term 2

Hello friends. Tis been a busy past few weeks with the children doing 2nd term exams. They are now through and will be getting their report cards end of next week.
We therefore had them come over for a health and sanitation children's workshop over the weekend. Some pics...

New Hope, New Look!

We thank all our friends and sponsors for your continued support. Our children are slowly experiencing a total turn around in their lives. The school authorities tell us there is a marked improvement in perfomance and discipline in them. In this month of July we shall organise a health sensitisation workshop for the parents and guardians to train them on good hygiene practices that will guarantee healthy children and families. Our goal is the holistic development of the child and economic empowerment of the household.
These are some of the children in their new uniforms just behind their school.
