News from Uganda.
Emily's Visit To Suubi Will Have A Lasting Impact.
Melbourne school teacher Emily Banks has recently spent an amazing three and a half weeks at Suubi Centre in Lubanda Village. Her visit is sure to have a long term positive impact.
Not only did she leave behind wonderful new found friendships and memories, but after working tirelessly to raise funds before her trip, she was able install water tanks and distribute garden tools to two of Suubi's partner schools. Check out more photos and info here.
After visiting the well where Hope Bulemere Primary School had previously drawn water from (L) Emily was even more thrilled to see the tanks installed at their school and Kawerimidde Primary School. (R)
Both schools were thrilled to receive garden tools that will enable them to participate in the Suubi School Garden Project (L) And the children were excited to have Emily spend time in their classroom teaching them. (R)
Emily also helped to pass on wonderful new skills to the community. She not only did she spend time in the classrooms at some of the schools but she also taught the Suubi Ladies how to make aprons which she has returned home with to sell. In addition to this, thanks again to the money she rasied, we were able to fund a week long session of locally run bakery workshops.
So as you can see, Emily's relatively brief stay at Suubi is going to have long term benefits for many, many people in Uganda. A huge thank you and HUGs to you Emily!
