Training Center Ready to Go

Just as the construction work on the new training center was completed, there was a big surprise. The original plan was to simply to add the UgandaKids logo onto the building. But just then, Christopher Encima was in Adjumani. Some years ago, he was employed at the school as an art teacher. He then went on to study at an art academy in Entebbe. He has since graduated and now works as a freelance artist throughout East Africa and the Middle East. He felt the wall was too bare and spontaneously decided to brighten it up. In his words: “I had a wonderful time at UgandaKids, and now I can give something back.” Thank you so much, Christopher!
The registration of the trainees is complete. We are just waiting for some official documents from Kampala, and then we can finally get started!

Learning continues until the last day of school

Soon the Big Holidays are Beginning!

 The seventh-grade pupils have written their final exams and are now waiting for the results. The papers are anonymously marked with a number and are marked and cross-marked by selected teachers throughout the country. This prevents any schools or children from receiving preferential treatment—a procedure that fully reflects the immense importance of this first state examination.

For the other classes the school year will end in a few days. The boarding school will gradually be empty, and the young people living there will return to their foster families for two months.

During the holidays, final work will be carried out to complete the grounds of the new training workshop. Furthermore, some renovations are also planned for the school and boarding school buildings, which cannot be done while classes are ongoing.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating the start of the new school year in February. The school community is looking forward to welcoming the new three-year-olds in the Baby Class and especially the first apprentices for the new training workshop.

The Structural Work Has Been Completed

Over the past few months, many hardworking hands have been busy meeting the schedule for the basic construction for the apprentice workshop for tailoring and home economics. And that’s not it! Thanks to the excellent planning, the costs could be kept within the budget. Some final touches are still pending, but most importantly, the two workshops need to be set up with the necessary furnishings and technical equipment. This will happen simultaneously over the next few weeks to be ready for the kickoff in January!
