Happy Monday to you! This past weekend we had very special visitors at Akili School. Mama Hope's Global Advocate Ash and boyfriend Fergus have been living in Uganda for the last two months and helping to provide health care to families in Budondo through the Suubi Health Center.
They told us stories of how things got started with the Health Center, how the partnership with Mama Hope was established and all the great things that Suubi can now provide for their community, including vaccinations, maternity and family care.
Ash and Fergus are the Power Couple. They are probably two of the smartest people I have ever met and they happily shared the experience they have had in Budondo with us. I am certain that this exchange helped us a lot, and opened our eyes to new perspectives.
I am very excited about things yet to come at our school. I am happy to lay the foundation for a long and lasting partnership with Akili and to help them plan for the future years.
Next, it is my turn to travel to Uganda! I can't wait to meet everyone at the Suubi Health Center, hopefully have the chance to see a new baby be born, and to finally meet the Mukisa family!
Girls at the Akili School are somehow full of energy on Fridays... they know that the weekend is coming!
And thanks Ash for all these amazing pictures:
To continue providing education for girls, the Akili School is building new classrooms. We are currently being evicted from the building we are in. Akili provides free education for girls who live in the Obunga slum, who otherwise would not go to school. To help us, please consider donating to: stayclassy.org/julianeakilischool. 100% of donations will help us pay for the construction of the new building and you can check the project's progress here on my blog.
