The end of each school term is a time to celebrate our wonderful teachers in the UK.
Senior 4 students at Crossroads School in Soroti, Uganda have started their exams. The first exam is Mathematics, and we wish them every success!
Abraham, our project coordinator in Soroti, sent us these great photos of students at Crossroads school. He told us that the students are attaining new skills by transforming recycled waste materials into new products.
We have had an amazing response to our plea to help up to 74 pupils at Crossroads School. Many children have been unable to pay their school fees because of the dire economic climate.
The current S4 (Standard 4) year group at Crossroads School are about to do their National Exams. We hope they reach their potential and do really well!
As a charity we have a commitment at Crossroads Secondary School to pay for the staff salaries and sundries (such as text books for the new National Curriculum in Uganda and Bibles for pupils new to the school), as well as the cooks’ salaries, so that the pupils have a substantial meal each lunchtime.
The increasing cost of living expenses has meant that the school fees at Ngora School for the Deaf have gone up slightly.
Global Challenge has received a wonderful sponsorship to be able to support a little girl called Miriam. Miriam is blind and was at a mainstream school but was struggling.
We’d like to introduce you to Anna Grace who was brought to our attention by our representatives in Soroti, Uganda. Anna Grace unfortunately caught polio because her parents could not afford the polio vaccination.
