Sharing the Canada experience with the Ugandan girls.

When Jane told me last year that she was coming to Uganda this year in October, at first i thought she was joking. This 81 year old friend of mine had followed my work on social media for a period of 2 years and felt the need to come to Uganda and meet the girls that i was working with. Her intention was to encourage and motivate them so that they see the many reasons why they must stay in school and complete their education. On 19th October, she arrived in Uganda and it was her first time in Africa. Whereas she was worried about the Ugandan weather, she fell in love with it immediately and was so comfortable  until the day she traveled back to her country on 1st November.

Jane visited different schools and shared her growing up experience with the girls which left them more motivated. As a retired teacher for English and History, the students felt so much attached to her and were so humbled by her love and care that brought her to Uganda to support the girl child. She assured the girls that the challenges they are facing today are not unique to them alone, many other girls have faced the same hardships but its only the strong hearted that stand out and achieve their dreams.

The girls felt so cared for and promised to read heard and complete their education.

Many times all that these girls need is motivation and i always appreciate every one that finds it important to reach out to them. Jane touched a number of lives of children including the Autistic children that we visited at DORNA CENTER. She supported the center by buying a number of items of art and craft that are made by these children.

She sung for them and they joined in the singing. This means a lot and i strongly appreciate you Jane for loving our children this much.
