Hello everyone!
THANK YOU to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $6,675 in just 24 hours and received $2,130 from GlobalGiving in bonus funds!
With schools hopefully opening soon, we plan to use the money raised to purchase tents and special desks to allow our children to stay socially distant when they are finally allowed to return.
We've also been working on some other upgrades to our school sites so we are ready for re-opening day:
The cargo containers at the secondary school now have the glass windows in, have all been painted and are having electrical installed as we speak.
We purchased 17 complete new computer sets (and our first ever photocopier!) last week, awaiting installation.
We are awaiting delivery of our essential stock of new secondary school text books.
And of course we are still maintaining our home visits and food distribution program for all our families with a little extra for everyone for the holidays.
We will certainly keep everyone posted as things develop in Uganda over the next couple months!
Thanks again, and Happy Holidays!
The Uganda Hands for Hope team
