Back to School!!

Those 3 words are powerful. They strike excitement/dread into every teacher's heart:) In Uganda, it is hope! Children in Uganda will choose school over almost anything. They know the power of education. It means a better job, a better life, a better future.

School hear in the US is just starting back. Parents have been buying new pencils, paper, glue, scissors, clothes, sneakers, and sometimes even laptops or tablets. Hundreds of dollars are spent just on clothing, sometimes 1 piece of clothing or pair of shoes.

School in Uganda is on break. But it starts back in a month. We want to take the next month and see how many children in Kamengo we can get back in school. Some of the kids have been able to go to school for a while, but have had to drop out because their parents can't pay the tuition or buy the uniforms. Most of them have never been able to go to school at all. The cost of tuition, uniform, shoes and supplies for a year of school is $100. Just $100, to educate a child in Kamengo for a year. A WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR!!!

We are looking for sponsors for some of the village children. For $100 you could change a child's future forever. When was the last time you could make that kind of impact for $100?



Who can resist this smile? We will send you a photo and information on the child you sponsor. We will give you updates as we get them.



If you would like to sponsor a child, you can send payment via paypal or mail a check to Olwazzi at the address at the right. If you would like to sponsor, but can't send $100 you can send $50 now and $50 in January. If you have any questions, please email us at olwazzi@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your prayers and support for the village!!
