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

Health screening exercise
Last weekend we had medical workers come and do HCT (HIV Counseling and Testing) on our children. The goal was to know their present sero status so as to take appropriate action. The medics counselled the children on matters to do with HIV: prevention, transmission channels etc. We will be doing more general health screening soon so as to continue to take preventive measures to keep our children healthy. We believe health and fitness are critical to a child's overall growth and development. So we will continue to partner with the caregivers to ensure the children adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Holiday starts
We are in the holiday now. The children are glad to get time to be with family and rest from the hectic school routine. We started them off with a group counselling about the term and how it went for them. We met a small group and will be meeting more in the course of the holiday. It was interesting to hear their stories of best subjects, favorite teachers and challenges faced during the term. We are using the findings to find ways of enriching their educational experience.
