The new school year is starting in a few days
.
Another week and the school will beginn again in Uganda. Just like in previous years, the holidays were a few days shorter for the teachers.
Two trainers came to Adjumani to prepare the teachers for the new school year. The experience from the previous school year was discussed
and new methods develoved for the new year. The teachers always look forward to this training week and feel it as a great gain for their teaching.
.
Also the recently announced results from the final exams have shown that UgandaKids has again archieved the best results in the whole district. All pupils passed their exams in Div. I or II. The average grade was 1.65. Hilda and the teachers are of course very proud of their pupils' results.
.
Heinz and the construction team have installed and tested the new cooking stoves in the kitchen. UgandaKids is now prepared for the 7th year.
Kick off is on Monday 4th February.

Big holidays in Uganda
OnFriday 30th November the big "End of year Party" took place in Adjumani. The pre-school pupils were transferred to primary school and the children sang, danced and laught a lot.
On the following day the singers of the new UgandaKids songs went on a trip to the Nile.
To see and hear what went on there please click here.
By the way three cars were enough to transport 30 children and 5 adults!
At the end of this year we would like to kindly thank you!
Without your support the great work that Hilda, Heinz and the whole team perform in Adjumani would not be possible. With your support it was again possible to achieve a real "growing up with perspectives". You can find more details on how the school has developed since 2006 in this Video.
Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful new year in 2013.

The second group just before the final exams
The mocks have been written and in the last few weeks the pupils of year 7 have worked hard to strengthen their knowledge. On 5th and 6th November the final exams of Ugandan primary schools take place. These take place at the same time in the entire country and are corrected by external teachers, therefore the results are not expected until January.

Only a few days until the mock exams
Three weeks until grade 7 take the mock exams. These are based on the exams of the past three years. This way, three months before the final exams weaknesses can be found and things can be revised. After the incredible results from last years school leavers the pressure is on for pupils to come up with the same performance, therefore students work hard until late at night to prepare for the final exams.
The current Newsletter from July 2012, with lots of pictures and impressions from our journey can be found here.

Reconstruction in progress

Visit us on facebook:

Pre-school has moved class rooms in second term
Holiday time means that Heinz
can work on the reconstruction. A wall has been torn out to enlarge the last class room of the three pre-school classes. Everything could be finished on time before school started again. In this class room middle class can now be taught.
The dry season was not quite as heavy this year compared to last year. The school and the neighbours received enough water from our well this season.
Finally the lists of all the classes have reached us and there are 535 children and youth for whom the Team in Adjumani is taking responsibility this year.

Assembly in the morning hours
UgandaKids is starting into the new school year 2012
A few days ago the Ugandakids nursery- and primary school started again in Adjumani. This year there are also more than 500 children and teenagers at the school. Two teachers left the school due to personal reasons and new teachers have already been recruited. The reputation of the school has risen even more after the great performance of the pupils who more than successfully completed primary school in December.
The average grade of the school leavers was 1.3, noone was above 2. All of the pupils are going to a secondary school now, mostly outside of Adjumani town.
It has also been talked about that not only the children and teenagers receive the best possible care and education, but that the teachers also gain from regular training courses. Now Hilda doesn't just have to take care of the foster parents who want to send their children to our school but also there are lots of job applications coming in from teachers wanting to work at Ugandakids school.
A few new video scenes with the new Ugandakids song sung by the pupils can be viewed here. (to the video)

With the end of the term the "bording school" has to be cleared.

| School year 2012 has been finished - the first teenagers are leaving the school
On December 2nd the last school term has ended, with the exception of a few, most pupils could rise to the next level. All 19 school leavers are registered at secondary schools. At the end of January they will return for one day to receive their school reports. A few weeks ago the results of the mock exams were very promising, therefore not only we, but also the youth were expecting very good results. These former pupils of Ugandakids school are leaving the school with great perspectives. We have asked them to stay in touch at least once a year, to find out what their future holds.
Up to date fotos are here, and of course on Facebook
All of us from Ugandakids, in Europe and in Uganda are thanking you very kindly for your support so far and hopefully in the future.
We are wishing you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and healthy New Year 2012!

Photovoltaic power is up and running
Since the beginning of October the school can use its own environmentally friendly electricity and is autonomous. 30 solar panels were sponsored by Wirsol in Waghäusel and have been mounted on three steel frames and supply 5 kWp electricity. The company SMA in Kassel/Niestetal has provided the inverters for UgandaKids and transport costs were paid by the Deutschen Bank. Maintenance will be carried out by Hilda's brother Harry, who is a trained electrician and who was part of installing the solar panels.
We are very grateful and are glad to have finally switched of the generator!
