Mission School Uganda

Dear People of God
Last month in August, I took a mission trip to Uganda, my home land, and visited the poor children enrolled in "ST. TERESA-GOOD SAMARITAN MISSION SCHOOL " which I helped to establish with the generous support of friends from the United States, mostly from several Parishes in the Diocese of St. Petersburg, where I have been privileged to serve, over the years. Through the generous donations, these poor children are able to access free elementary school education.
During my mission trip, we gave out new school uniforms and sportswear to all the 328 children currently benefitting from the school program. We procured more desks and textbooks, though a lot more is very much needed. We had solar panels installed on the school buildings so children are able to read at night. We installed water tanks for clean rainwater, running off the roof. We added 5 shower rooms to maintain school hygiene. Also, the children gathered to greet me on School Day and we had a good lunch and entertainment. It feels my heart with great joy seeing a place that used to be a jungle in the middle of no where, now transformed into a safe haven of dreams for these poor children.
Yet, with the devastating effects of COVID-19, the school program is struggling to raise tuition funds due to a substantial drop in annual sponsorship commitment from our donors.

If you would consider sponsoring a child's education, the whole Academic Year, for $300 including  tuition fees, school uniform, and lunch, your sacrifice will indeed make a difference.
