Remember our last update about the Primary School you’re helping build at Village of Hope in Gulu, Uganda? Well, it’s now complete! THANK YOU for helping make this possible!
The children who attend this school are made up of many of the Child Mothers’ children, AIDS/WAR orphans, and a few from the community. It is primarily a school for the most vulnerable children due to the war in northern Uganda for the last 23 years. Though it has subsided considerably, Joseph Kony, the LRA rebel leader, has not been captured and has been active in war crimes now in Congo and Sudan.
Without schooling, village life is about taking care of siblings, working and often often much food. We need to continue to do our part to help these children!
Here are some photos of the finished building and some children now enjoying their wonderful new facility…
