Back to School Jan 2014

Back to school campaign

Back to school Campaign 2013


School season is finally here and ripe; over the past 4 years Shalom Namutere project has been supporting 54 children with their education needs in what we callback to school campaign, this year we have received requests from 7 more guardians with about 16 children hoping that we can give them a chance to go back to school, our team has identified additional four families with children who need to be sent back to school 6 of them, I have also identified one girl who dropped out of school in Senior 2 and she is working as a house maid so she can get some money to educate her 2 young brothers, she is however willing to go back to school in case there is a chance for her and her brothers. This therefore means that we have about 25 new kids whom we have to take in for our back to school campaign to help them get education because we believe the future lies in these little ones.
So 54 from last year and 25 coming on board this year we increase our number to 79 children and 2 care takers to make it 81 in total;

I strongly believe that you and me can both do something about this by supporting this course and help give them education they deserve, through one of the following ways.
1. This year we will be having 2 in high school and 9 in secondary school, you can adopt 1 of them for support or contribute towards the entire group, the fees structure ranges between 200,000/= to about 500,000/= per child per term for schools which are not very expensive. And there are 3 school terms per year so that is a total of between 600,000 and 1,500,000/= per year per child.
2. You can donate books (exercise books, text books such as English Dictionary, Pens, pencils and colour pencil) to the entire group or to some of the kids. 
3. You can donate sanitary pads for the girls.
4. You can donate school shoes and uniforms or towards that.
5. You can also contribute towards the child care centre we are planing to put up a meeting hall with different class rooms
6. Contribute towards the construction of a community High school which we plan to put up this year.
7. Finally you can also contribute towards the sustainability of the care takers who receive only 60,000/= per month each.
Thank you so much for taking your time to read through this message, looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully making you our partner because together we can make a difference and give hope and a future

All amounts above are in Ugandan shillings at an exchange rate of 2,500/= per 1$

THIS IS JUSTICE NOT CHARITY

                                                             This is My Story:Part 1  Early School Life through War!!! Once upon a time!! Haha. Well, the story of my life is a very long one. Today is the beginning of a series of "My Story" that I will keep writing when I have the opportunity. Its a reflection on my early school life.  My education journey began in the mid-1980s, a time when resources were scarce and instability was all too common. I remember writing on the ground because we had no books and no chalkboards for our teachers to use. When it rained, we huddled under a muddy shelter. Lunch was unheard of—during breaks, we would wander to nearby homes of our classmates, hoping to find jackfruit hanging from the trees.  My early memories of school are few, but what followed has left a lasting imprint.  As...

  This is My Story: Part 2   "My Life After the War" In the first part of "This is My Story," I shared glimpses of my early school life amid war. Today, I continue with the second chapter, “My Life After the War.”  When I look back, I realize that the effects of the war gave birth to a deep desire for something different. Join me as I further reflect.  When we returned from exile, we found our home destroyed—burned down and overgrown with bush.  For months, we were hosted by neighbors as my father worked to rebuild our lives. He managed to construct a small hut, but it was so tiny that only my parents could sleep inside. I had to find shelter with different neighbors for quite some time. Life was unbearably difficult.  Before the war, farming was not just our  source of income—it was how we fed ourselves and made any income.  The war disrupted everything, leaving us without food. Thankfully, some neighbors who hadn’t been chased away took pi...

This is my Story: Part 3 "Beyond the Village: A Journey for Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding."

  In my last two episodes, I shared my childhood experiences first, during the war and after the war.   Today, I'll continue with the third episode, "Beyond the Village." With no high school near me, it was time to leave home and head to the nearest "big town," Jinja, Uganda. I had never imagined myself in a big town before. Jinja, an industrial hub, was unlike anything I had known. After enrolling in high school, I needed to find somewhere to stay. I ended up sharing a small hut with a classmate who had already rented it. I remember looking up at night and seeing the sky and moon through the roof. We had to sleep in shifts because there wasn't enough room for both of us simultaneously. As hard as life was in my village, I missed it. (This is one of my first ever pictures taken)!!!!!!  Back to the story!!  To make ends meet, I worked to pay for my school fees, accommodation, and food. I enrolled in a carpentry apprenticeship and worked with a carpenter, d...
