The Spirit of Reading Starts Here.

Hello everyone,
Greetings from Uganda. It is rainy here, what is it like there in the US? We have recently been busy but thinking about you all the time. We have enough reasons to pride in you all. Thank  you Mrs. Cindy for the courage we have got from you. We have come to realize that it is the fact of this relationship we have that our children have picked the great desire to be at school.
With the simple survey I have taken, all the children who have so far participated in this relationship have not missed school unless it is a serious case of sickness. Those who entirely sleep at school do not take a day without asking me about friends in the USA. This indicates that the communication they make has attracted their interest in being at school all the time. Whereas there are other factors that affect their regular attendance, they always want to be at school.
For this, I would like to continue my appreciation to you for this great work!!!
Thank you for the reading books you donated to us. These books have become a point interest for a number of girls who enjoy reading. From this point, I can realize that the cry of our government and many humanitarian organizations that strive for the girl child education begins here!! Whereas most organizations here and the world over which want to increase girl child education can adopt such tactics to inculcate the interest into the girl child at an early age.
Thank you always and we shall always be proud of you. Thanks to all your other friends in the same struggle.

"IF THEY CAN, THEN WE CAN"

Today we had a community clean up day where we had to move around the community, cleaning and teaching the people about the importance of proper sanitation.
The event was led by primary five pupils. The event was titled "Clean Up Live Healthy"
Do you also have such activities in your community? The next clean up day will  attract the area councilor next month.
We encouraged the community members to value the environment, by avoiding poor disposal of rubbish and human waste to avoid sanitation related diseases. In our area, these are some of the commonest sicknesses that we suffer.
We also encouraged the people to plant trees where possible because the GLOBAL WARMING is a threat to our community and the world as a whole.

On Our Way To Summer Vacation

Dear Uganda friends

Hello friends what does your teacher look like? We do not have a crowded classroom I see you have a crowded classroom. My whole class wanted to congratulate you and say good luck on netball for July. We are ending school on June 19th. When do you end school? My class went to a track meet. A track meet is when you and a bunch of other schools compete in field events. We made Tshirts for our principal Mrs.VanNice. We tidied the shirts. The Tshirts had a cancer sign on the back of the Tshirts.
