Keeping in Touch!

With the Covid_19 Pandemic travel to Uganda from Canada has been suspended. Fortunately, we have representatives in Uganda who can visit schools to check progress, make recommendations and encourage the school communities. Recently Robert Sekisambu, our representative based in Kampala, made a trip to Eastern Uganda. His trip included six schools where Classrooms for Africa has recently completed projects, where projects are in progress or are waiting for funding.

Robert’s report shows he was very well received by all school communities and they were very appreciative of his input. The information Robert relayed to us is extremely helpful as we plan and move forward.

Thanks, Robert, for all your hard work!

Here are some images he took at the schools:­­
