Students in the new computer lab
YOU have made their computer lab possible!
The computer lab at Nyaka Vocational Secondary School (NVSS) is now 100% complete thanks to you!
This amazing lab will increase learning opportunities by helping students become computer literate and will also give them access to the world that they never thought would be possible. Your students will now be able to compete better with other students for placements in higher institutions of learning. Computer literacy will also increase the career opportunities that will be available to them after school.
Teachers and students have been provided training on all of the new computer equipment and were eager to begin utilizing the awesome new lab! This modern computer lab sets the pace for NVSS to become the central hub for STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) in the community. YOU have made that happen!
Thank you for giving your students access to the world and creating even MORE opportunities than they ever thought possible!

Science Technology Engineering Math!

You are helping your students excel in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math)!
Your students need as much exposure to STEM education as possible! It's estimated that as many as 70% of jobs in the world will require some STEM education when your students are in the workforce.
The Government of Uganda has made the study of science subjects, namely; physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics compulsory for all secondary school students. That's wonderful!
However, many schools in Uganda just can't keep up. They don't have the curriculum or the facilities to prepare their students. When students sit for their exams, the test assumes that they've been given high quality STEM education.
Thanks to you, your students now have a biology lab and a computer lab where they can learn. With your continued support, we will be able to construct the physics and chemistry labs your students need to complete their education!
Thank you for being a champion for your students at NVSS!

Did you ever think a biology lab would bring a tear to your eye?

Did you ever think a biology lab would bring a tear to your eye?
As you look at these pictures of the two labs you've completed at NVSS, I hope you feel the full weight of what you have made possible. It isn't just that these two labs you've built are beautiful. It is what they stand for. This school that you're building is a symbol of hope to your students and the entire community. And these labs represent a key promise that is the foundation of this hope: opportunity.
Imagine for a moment what it is like to live in rural Uganda. Where your students live there is no biology lab like this one. Not one. There isn't a biology lab like this in the entire region! Secondary and vocational schools don't have computer labs--much less with internet!
Your students are going to have academic opportunities that do not exist in most of Uganda. They are going to be learning skills and testing concepts that will build up their knowledge and prepare them to excel in university.
Your students have this precious gift because of your compassion.
Thank you for making a difference!
