The First Four Scholarship Holders are just about to Complete their Secondary Education

In 2014 Ugandakids started a scholarship program. The first four young women will be writing their interim examinations – the O-Levels in the few days. The completion of this qualification compares to the intermediate secondary school certificate in Germany, it is the same in the whole country and comprises of eight to ten different examinations.

After completing their primary school qualification in 2013 the four girls continued their education at St. Marys Assumpta Secondary School in Pakelle. Pakelle is approximately a 15 minute drive from Adjumani, therefore Ugandakids and the teachers can stay in close contact with them to follow their progress. All four belong to the best of their school year. Ugandakids has agreed to support them financially through the scholarship program for the next two years until they reach A-Level qualifications.

Big Celebration at School

The 10 year anniversary of UgandaKids – clearly a reason to celebrate!

There was a big birthday party at the school on Saturday, April 22^nd. Hundreds of people came to visit and join the children, youths and employees in celebrating the anniversary. The children were at the heart of both the party on Saturday and during the sport events on the day before. Four former UgandaKids were invited as guests of honour : they will be taking their A-Level exams this coming October. But also many other former primary school kids came to join the celebration. It was heartwarming to see how many confident, great personalities UgandaKids has helped to develop.

There was plenty of food and drink for everyone. Poems and songs and a lot of dancing followed the meal. Some of it was so irresistible that even the nuns from Pakelle couldn’t remain seated, they joined in the dancing.
