What a week. No power as the electricity company finally decided to change the poles and the transformer. As a result the internet has also been off line and therefore no blogs!!
So another week has flown by: Children's Camps in Serbia have been running and are now over. We will report as soon as the details come through to us. Camps are set to begin in Albania in August.
Our Special Needs team in Uganda has been assessing children with long term needs, identifying vulnerable children and preparing to distribute food, soap and mosquito nets to the most needy.
A team working in Dokolo District, Uganda has spent the last 3 weeks visiting schools and giving out school uniforms to primary boys and girls along with much needed school resources - pencils, exercise books, rulers, pencil sharpeners, erasers etc. as well as classroom resources to teachers - blackboard instruments, teaching resources, registers, pens, notebooks etc. This programme has benefited over 15,000 children.
It was goodbye to Anne Hoskins and Graeme Roache, they are teachers from St. Pauls School, Milton Keynes. Anne & Graeme came to compare life in another St. Pauls in Ngetta, Lira. They spent a week alongside teachers and pupils to gain valuable insights and have returned to share their findings with staff and pupils at their Milton Keynes school. Whilst they were in Uganda LightForce was able to re-roof a classroom block damaged in a recent storm.
Every week we receive requests for help from around the world. We appreciate those who support us in our work and keep in contact with us.
