School in Uganda, Our Secondary Students

Hello Friends,

As many of you may have read on my blogs and Facebook, we are very proud of our children from our orphan village in Uganda whose test scored earned them admission to St. John’s Secondary School, a prestigious secondary school in Uganda. In past years, we have had children get admitted there, but this year was astonishing. We had 17 children qualify for admission, which is so wonderful! We are proud of our students and our teachers. I found this article, and I wanted to pass it on to all of you. It explains the school system in Uganda. The children we are talking about have finished P.7 (primary, level 7) and are starting S.1 (secondary, level 1). I hope this article helps.

Please, PLEASE, please let us know if you are in a position to help. We have had 4 children receive donations to help with their new school’s expenses and one receive half. We are so thankful for these donations, but that leaves 12 and a half children that need donations for their new school. Each child needs $250 for the new books, uniforms, and additional tuition because secondary books are quite more expensive than primary. Please consider helping us with this cause.

Here is one of our bright children that was accepted that remains unsponsored:


Trevor Kazibwe



Age: 11 (EST)

Village: Seeta

ID #: 5067

Trevor was brought to our village by his grandmother, who was no longer able to care for him. He had not been educated due to lack of funds. As it turns out, Trevor is a very bright boy who loves to learn. He has shown excellent ability in English, Science, and Social Studies. He is also a devout young man.

Please help us send Trevor to secondary school at St. John's. If you know of anyone that may want to pick up Trevor's sponsorship as well, please let us know. He is a remarkable child with a bright future ahead of him. Children like Trevor will change the world someday!

Thank you all of you for your support, whether it be donations or prayers or spreading of the news. We are truly blessed to have you! God be with you!
