At the School

The month of January is a vacation month for the Children. During the month we hire 2 new teachers.  A new third grade teacher to replace Esther she will transition into a new role overseeing all the children’s health and attendance at school. 

The 7^th grade class received their results.  15 out of 22 passed and will now be attending secondary school!  30 students in Middle school.

We are going to follow up with the children that did not pass to find out if they are going to try again or if they want to do a trade

In 2008 no child at the school had completed 7^th grade.  In 2010 we had our first graduating class of 3 students.  Next year they will be ready for senior 2!   

402  children in pre-k  through 6^th grade.  62% of the children passed.

Health Care

Farouq had his follow up appointment.  Praise God no surgery needed.  Prayers that is bones will begin to grow to accommodate his organs.  The day he had his final appointment he asked to call me.  Calls from Uganda are not cheap.   “Thank you Mom Sandy for loving me”    “I love you”  Made my day!

                       

                                                                                      

John  a young second grader  was brought to the hospital for an infection in his chest.

Both thought they had hernias because of the pain.

Immaculate top class had a severe case of Malaria over the vacation.  She had one of the worst cases treated at Show Mercy.  Immaculate would not be alive without  having access to free treatment

  

Viste –pre kindergarten  his guardian was treated at Show Mercy.  It was through Show Mercy that we learned Vistes guardian is blind.  I will visit their home to find out how we can help.

Praise God for our partnership with Show Mercy Immaculate my have died without their care.

The hardest part of managing this project was getting the  money to the team in Uganda.

February Visit.

My niece Katie and I will be leaving on the 13^th of February.  Katie will be observing and teaching the Pre-k and kindergarten classes.  I am going to be interviewing all of the sponsored children.

I am so excited about this trip!  It is a real blessing not to wait an entire year to see the children again  This trip would not have been possible without the many generous donations!  

Loving a Village One Child at Time!
