Uganda- God Cares School Outside of Kampala City

I am preparing for a trip to Uganda. I am not exactly sure when, yet. But I have been invited and we are looking for the right date. I am going to go train teachers. This is the perfect fit for me. I spend my summers training teachers and writing teaching materials. When I met Pastor Dongo, from this school, it felt like the perfect moment. I felt like my experiences had put me in just the right place.

The school services 900 orphans and needy children. Their goal is to eventually educate and care for 2,000. I am setting up this blog to chronicle my preparation and my trip. I want to learn from it in every way I can, but also, I want to be expecting God to do great things. I feel humbled and deeply blessed when I watch videos of this school in Uganda. The teachers are doing so much with so little.

My school is one of the older schools in the city. And yet, I have plenty of space, plenty of light, plenty of paper. My students have parents. And most importantly, my students have a free education. There is no free education in Uganda. Please keep reading and help me get ready to go to Uganda.

I am working on eating better and exercising so that my health will be at its best. I am also preparing training materials for the teachers that is both practical and enduring. If there are ads on this page, all of the proceeds will go towards my trip.
