Update from Isaac in Kapchorwa

Sponsors,
Enjoy this recent update from Isaac, our main administrator for Hope Africa in Kapchorwa.
Thanks for the continued support!

Schools officially closed on the 12th of this Month for second term hoilday. They shall be reporting back on the 5th of September 2011 for the final term on the year. This term has been the most difficult to manage the school because of inflation. We trust, as we move to the harvest period which begins sometimes in October, we prices could drop as a result of excess supply of maize to the market. Most government schools closed two weeks before the official closing date but we thank God because our pupils stayed until the end of the term.

As usual, our P7 pupils are going on a school tour from the 29th to the 31st of this month. They shall depart from Kapchorwa from the 29th of August at 2.00am and they will be at Entebbe airport by 9.00am of the same day. They will have their breakfast at the airport and later travel to the shores of lake victoria and winding up at the Entebbe zoo. From the Zoo, they will sleep in Kampala - possibly Gaba, eat their supper there and call it a night. 30th August morning, they get breakfast there and take off to Uganda Parliament at 9.00am where they have been allowed to the public gallary to witness a live session of debates taking place. From parliament, they will tour Makerere University and to Port Bell landing sites on the shores of lake victoria. They will return to Gaba for a night through some industries in Kampala and retire into bed. 31st August, they take off to Jinja - Owen falls dam, the source of the Nile and some industries mostly sugar processing in Jina. We anticipate they will be done by 2.00pm and they head back to Kapchorwa.
