Visitors and Children

We were once again blessed to host student interns...this time from Belgium. We visited families with them, checked on children at school and visited a Batwa camp several kilometres from town. In our family visits, our families get to interact with the visitors. We learn from each other. We speak hope and comfort to the individuals we find there because they live under very difficult conditions due to poverty, lack of education or sometimes disease.
At school we first had separate time with our own supported children before meeting with the whole school at their evening assembly.
It was fun as our children learnt about Belgium and shared about our culture, weather and surroundings.
Some children gave moving testimonies of how their lives have changed since they were recruited into the project.
 One girl, Kadiya, shared how she used to study on an empty stomach most of the afternoons because she used to go home for lunch and find no food. That was after walking a long distance home for lunch. However, now she doesnt have to walk home for lunch because she gets lunch from school. This happened after she got a sponsor through FALCO. Her grades have also considerably improved as a result.

There are still so many young girls and boys in the villages around us for whom the future is uncertain because they are not being prepared through a quality education, holistic care and guidance to succeed.
You can partner with us to change more young lives and guarantee a better future for them. To become a sponsor or help us to get sponsors please write to us on: falccokisoro@hotmail.com
