October will be a stressful time for Jackson, Hasifa, Brenda, and Sandra.  At the end of Ordinary level school (secondary 1-4), children in Uganda write a national examination.  The results of that exercise determines whether they will be eligible to join Advanced level (secondary 5-6) with potential for University application, or apply for Vocational school, so there is a lot riding on this performance.  Scores are released early in the new year.  All our best wishes to them for great results!

Charitable organization status effective Aug 22/18.

We received this good news in mid-September, the day of our board meeting!  This is the culmination of fourteen months’ work with Canada Revenue Agency since our application was first submitted.  We can now issue tax receipts to donors and sponsors.
