Teach the teachers and Rosemary's future

Trustee Richard Bircher is taking the lead on getting the new school in South West Uganda not only built but also giving attention to encouraging teacher development. Buildings are not the solution to educational issues. Good teachers are.
So a learning day was organised and all the staff from Little Shepherd at Rtunguru spent time in Fort Portal getting some insights into how our Good Shepherd School do things. It was a great experience and great motivation too.

We must encourage more of this. Great idea Richard.



Back in Jinja, Sebastian met an 18 year old girl who is totally blind. Her name is Rosemary. The local Rotary Club finds the money for her school fees but Rosemary has not been able to return to her special school for the blind at Soroti, about 4 hours from home, because she simply did not have the clothes, bus fare and other essentials which a growing girl must have.



It sounds simple and we have been able to help her, having just had our best fund raiser ever. This years HUGS Golf Event raised over £13000. Thanks Charlotte Bob and John!!
