Christmas inspires people (1): Willy and Kathrien
Since 3 years The village invites neighbours and friends for a Christmas happening. The period of Christmas still inspires people world wide to show their love and care for the vulnerable.
This takes different forms. Willy and Kathrien put their farm at disposition of our association to set up the happening and they are busy during months to make sure everything will be organised well.

Construction of unit 2: office and kitchen
After finishing unit 1 -classes and sanitation- we started building the first part of unit 2: office and kitchen. Elsewhere you could read how Kiki and Pele purchased building materials. For now we show you images of the construction activities. They are mainly erecting the walls and putting the roof on a building of 15 meter by 6.
The building consists of 2 parts. The kitchen (6x6) will be used before it will be finished; therefore we have already put the windows and the door.
The office is also 6mx6m and there is an annex restroom and shower-toilet of 6x3.
For more pictures look at the page 'construction'.

Trump

| Trump |
We are not happy. He is really bad. He has 5 children in 3 woman.
After Obama
If you have voted Clinton you would have given Obama the third term. After Obama at least somebody else would come, but not Trump. I wanted change, but not Trump. You're not supporting Clinton because she is a woman.
Is that man going to have jobs for those people in America? All of them?
Bribes
Do they give bribes for votes in your country? No? That is only in Uganda. They give you 2000 for your vote.

I fear
He said he is going to chase the black people of America. Every time he was quarreling.
He is ever abusing. He is going to abuse on his first day. Now I fear also those people may come and kill us.

How Ugandan children go to school
In Uganda most schools open at 8:00 am and close at 5:00 pm from Monday to Friday. Different children come from different families with different backgrounds and this is a great factor on how these children go to their respective schools in the morning and back to their homes in the evening.
Children from well off families are dropped and picked by their parents in their own transport means such as vehicles, motorcycles etc.
Children from middel income families are dropped and picked by boda boda or an affordable fee can be paid to the school in order for these children to be dropped and picked by the school van/vehicle but this depends on the parents' will and acceptability.
There are also children from low income families where their daily income cannot afford to cater for transportation charges. This situation therefore forces children to walk (foot) to and from school and for the case of young children, their parents are forced to accompany their children in the morning and come to collect them in the evening.
So no matter what, all children come to school in the morning and go home in the evening.
