Lot of projects have been completed over the last year.  Take a video tour to see the school with its new school kitchen, new fence & gate and the well in action.  Projects on the horizon or being completed now are the school medical clinic (completion Feb 2019) and a dormitory (completion July 2020).
Take a video tour of the school here.

We have been back from our August 2017 visit to Uganda for just over 6 weeks.  It was a successful trip with lots of projects started and completed.  Have a look at how the school looks now.

The students from Gerry Luton’s classes at the UVIC English Language Center chose PODA for their Charity Project.  Their fundraising bake sale earned an amazing $1,100.10 – thank you to everyone.  Since 2002 these classes have been supporting a variety of charities.

The students are visiting from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Colombia, Panama & Brazil.  It is impressive that while studying in Canada they are also helping to support students in rural Uganda.

We had a very successful Christmas campaign – our tally was 23 lanterns, 22 beds, 15 goats, & 13 nets.  Thank you PODA supporters!  Our first priority was to order the beds to be ready for the beginning of the school year (late February).
 
 
When we travel to Uganda in July we will be purchasing the solar lanterns as well as the goats.  We are still fundraising for additional beds & nets, you can make a donation here.
