The December Wellbeing Pamper Day raised another £80 towards teacher’s salaries at Crossroads School in Uganda. All the Christmas cards were sold and the card competition even inspired the youth church group at Queens Road Baptist Church to help raise vital funds by donating some of their proceeds from a refreshment sale they held after a Sunday Service.
Our brilliant Christmas Craft Fair, attended by 15 local stall holders, raised over £600! The raffle was a great success and so was the surprise visit from Santa.
We held a fantastic information evening in November. The event kicked off with the Ugandan treats of chicken on a stick and chapatis, washed down with ginger beer.
A massive, heartfelt “thank you” to Alex Louise, Beauty Therapist, for running our first Wellbeing Day…which was a SOLD OUT success!
Katy, Tim, Joanna and Enock enjoyed sunning themselves in the iconic circle architecture of their Soroti hotel while waiting for our Global Challenge Special Needs Coordinator, Billy.
Katy is our newest trustee in the UK and has not visited our partners in Uganda before. This August 2023, Katy, two of her gorgeous children, Tim and Joanna, and family friend, Enock, are currently visiting Soroti!
Students in Senior One class and Senior Two class went to Kiganadani market for a geography field study. The group facilitator took the learners through the main objectives of their study before the students commenced their studies of the market.
We have been able to transfer funds to our partners in Uganda to purchase 10 new laptops and a projector. Money raised at our Christmas Cantate Concert and our Invicta Wind Orchestra Concert, plus a private donation, was sent to Crossroads Secondary School so that they could choose and buy the equipment they needed locally.
