Shalom Care School Busia Construction.  Our school construction has come this far, and we’re grateful to everyone who has come along. Each wall stands because people like you gave, prayed, and believed in this vision. Our hope is to have the classrooms ready for the students in January, and that means we are entering the next stage ( the slab, plastering, and floors ) for the first floor.  Once the slab is in place, the rooms are plastered, and the floors are laid, we can finally move our pupils into their own school building, which they are looking forward to.  We need your help to complete this next stage.  Our budget is $106,500 USD to complete this stage successfully.   We are inviting an end-of-year gift to support our school construction.

See the previous blog on electricity here .  It was a big moment, and yes, we still celebrate it.  Since then, though, Uganda has struggled with an unreliable power supply and poor management of it for the past three years. In June, the problem hit close to home. The transformer serving our community blew. The government says it is waiting for a replacement, but no one can tell us when it will come. Months later, we still have no power. This has made our work much harder. Our work with the school has been disrupted, and much of our office work has stopped.
