“Project Hope Uganda” Training with NIACE from Seguya

Please see attached photographs from the training that Chris Taylor and Clare Meade from National Institute of Adults in Continuing Education (NIACE) are conducting here. Project Hope organizations are taking part including representatives from Wakiso District, Nangabo Sub-county.

The training centered, for the first two days, on drawing a strategic plan  for the development of Adult Literacy in Wakiso Districts. I had the opportunity to attend, and personally, it is wonderful. The training is still on-going, and from today to Saturday, it will focus on family learning.

You are right Don, there are organizations, and of-course individuals that need special mention on both our websites; National Institute of Adults in Continuing Education (NIACE) and Chris Taylor and Clare Meade from that organizations who are doing the training and carried supplies down here. Bath University certainly adds to the list.

NIACE also donated four laptops to project hope, we will distribute three of these to the organizations that will have successful proposals. One will help with project hope work. They will be key in setting up a computer lab at Cambridge College.

We came with a new development; we have a room designated for project hope store, where we can keep all non-requested donations as we do the work of informing the organizations that we have them. We also keep in requested donations before they get to the recipients. There is a sub-committee within the project hope committee that looks at all proposals and decides whether or not to grant them. It also helps the organizations with how to improve their proposals if they do not satisfy the sub-committee. The sub-committee's major role is to make that any resources given out by project hope are put to the best of use.

Well done with the new developments on science equipment, school bags and baby clothes. Sure, we can add one other school to project hope, and donate the microscopes. We could possibly distribute the school bags to the existing schools, and the baby clothes can be passed to parents at the ECCD, or to families that we might choose. Everything you mention in the list is very useful.

The pigs are fine, not so far from getting to stage when they should be in a position to bear young.

Beautiful times and best wishes,
Seguya
