EDUCATION UPDATE
MAY 2017 - FOUR OF OUR STUDENTS AND MORNING'S (R) AUNTY ON THE FIRST DAY OF SECOND TERM!
Thirty eight students ranging from preschool to college are being supported throughout 2017 by generous contributors to Love Is The Answer.
In this newsletter we would like to re-introduce Gideon to you.
We first met Gideon in 2007. The oldest boy in a child headed family in Eastern Uganda, Gideon was 16 years old trying to care and provide for his two younger sisters. Since that time, LITA Donors have supported Gideon's family and his continuing education throughout senior school and college.
In 2016 Gideon graduated from Uganda Technical College achieving a Diploma in Water Engineering, with a combined GPA of 3.68!
With Heart Full Of Gratitude for all the encouragement and financial support throughout the years, Gideon's next goal is to complete a University Degree in Civil Engeering!
Gideon has been granted admission to Uganda Christian University, "A Centre Of Excellence In The Heart of Africa". Classes begin in late August 2017. Gideon is now actively creating ways forward to pay the required school fees, approximately $2000CA for first term. Presently working as a brick mason at LITA's building site (pictured below), Gideon hopes to raise $450CA of the required fees and is asking us all for our help with the balance.

JUNE 2017 - AT OUR BUDUDA SITE WE ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING A TEN CLASSROOM PRE/PRIMARY SCHOOL TO GO ALONGSIDE THE DORMITORIES COMPLETED EARLIER THIS YEAR. (THE BOY'S DORM IS SEEN IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE PHOTO). THE DORMS SUPPORT EIGHTY ORPHANED AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL FULL TIME. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE NEW SCHOOL WILL SERVE OVER 500 STUDENTS.
In other LITA news, we are three quarters way through the construction of WILBRA Pre/Primary school, LITA'S third primary school in Uganda! With only roofing, plastering, fittings and painting remaining, we are looking towards completion of the school by the beginning of third term in early September. Thank you to those making this remarkable and empowering initiative possible <3
