Disability but not Inability!

Today we heard some great news from a rather special school which you have all helped to build. The Good Shepherd School for Children with Special Needs at Fort Portal.
There are 120 children attending plus another 25 or so who come are part of a school outreach programme.

Before Good Shepherd most of these children would not go to school because parents could not see any value. As one parent told us "I used to think she was so stupid that she could gain nothing"
But in November this year some of our Primary 7 children will be entering the National Primary School Examinations. This was unheard of a few years ago. We may not be able to change all the world but supporters have certainly changed the world for some great kids.

Many of you have remembered to change your regular monthly donation to our new Cooperative Bank but some have forgotten. We are trying to move away from Barclays and if you need help or have lost the details please contact HUGS.
