Teach the Children hasn't added a story.
Our family has become great friends with the Senkunda family. Dickson Senkunda was born and raised in Uganda but later came to the US where he furthered his education, obtaining bachelors and masters degrees. Dickson and his wife Heather have 3 darling little girls that our kids adore!
Dickson and Heather have a passion for giving back to schools in the villages around where Dickson grew up. They started Teach the Children foundation to help promote literacy in Uganda through improving access to books for learning and leisure reading. Uganda's literacy rate is about 74% compared to 99% in the US. Where there is literacy and education there is opportunity.
We are blessed to have the opportunity to travel with Dickson and Heather to Uganda in February for two weeks. During those two weeks we will visit 3 schools. Teach the Children has already established small libraries of donated books at these schools and this trip is the next step toward improving the classroom experience. We will be purchasing materials locally to build desks, chalkboards and pour concrete floors for some classrooms that still have dirt floors. We also will be buying textbooks in Uganda and providing them to the schools.
The number of textbooks, desks, chalkboards and concrete floors we can supply during our visit is dependent on how much money we can raise in advance. Our family is covering our travel costs so that 100% of your tax deductible donation can go towards providing these items for the schools. Donations can be made by credit card or paypal.
Check out the different contribution levels to the right. The contribution amounts represent the actual cost of providing that item for the school. It is all about giving what you can but some of those perks are pretty cool! Please share our campaign with your friends, family and co-workers to help share the word about the great things Teach the Children is doing for children in Uganda.
Thank you so much and God bless!
