The news from Crossroads Secondary School in Soroti is that the school has installed a new internet router for AITEL WI-FI.
Barbra, a bright and articulate young lady who is wheelchair bound, was delighted to receive a new chair. Barbra, who has recently been baptised in a swimming pool at a hotel local to her, was the first ever special needs child to receive a wheelchair from Global Challenge’s Special Needs project!
Our Special Needs Coordinator, Billy, has informed us that Martha and Faith have received reconditioned wheelchairs funded by Global Challenge. He has another one in storage to be given to another child.
Well done to everyone who completed the “Give Up Something Nice for Beans and Rice” Lent Challenge! You have been helping to provide school meals for pupils at Crossroads Secondary School in Soroti, where approximately £5 pays for a student’s school meals for a whole month.
