New Library & Classroom Block Underway At Suubi Secondary School
We were thrilled to commence the construction of out latest classroom block at Suubi Secondary School on Christmas eve 2017. This has become quite a tradition with many of our earlier structures also commencing on this special day.
This next block of classrooms includes a purpose built library space, as well as science and computer laboratories and two additional classrooms that will give us space to accomodate Senior 5 and 6 students who wish to complete 'A' level. Once this classroom block is in place we will have all the structures required to meet the criteria set by the Ugandan Ministry Of Education to hold 'O' level examinations on site. With our first intake of students due to sit these exams at the end of the 2018 school year, we are very excited to see the construction going full steam ahead. Check out all the construction photos and information at Suubi Secondary School blog; it is almost complete!
It is exciting to see our fundraising gauge over the $80,000 mark now. We are on the last push to raise funds for furniture and fitting so the students and teachers can move in ASAP. Lets all join together to make it happen!
Our enormous thanks to the following people/groups/schools who have organised events and/or donated directly towards the new classroom block so far:

26-10-2017, HUG Annual Meeting
The 2017 HUG Annual General Meeting was held on October 26th where the annual report, including financial statements, was presented. This gave everyone an insight in to all the wonderful achievements in Uganda over the past 12 months, including the huge success at Suubi Secondary School, Suubi Clinic, Suubi Livelihood Projects and the 1st birthday celebrations of our Smiling HeARTs art program for those with special needs.
A huge thank you goes to Brenton Brown, who stepped down from the board to focus on family; first the arrival of a baby in early January, followed by a wedding later in the year to his beautiful fiancé, Angy. We wish them a life filled with happiness. We would also like to welcome new board member, Aaron Luxmoore, who visited Uganda for the first time this year. He was instantly taken with the amazing Ugandan people and was hugely impressed with everything that has been achieved at Suubi and Smiling HeARTs; being on the HUG board will enable him to have a more hands on approach to helping the people he fell in love with. Aaron's compassionate and enthusiastic personality will fit in perfectly with the mix of extraordinary people who voluntarily dedicate their time and energy to the HUG board. Webale nnyo, nnyo, nnyo buli omu! (Thank you everyone)
