Richmond Hill St. Andrew's Church, Bournemouth
St. Andrew's church is helping St. Mary's church in Butansi and we were delighted to be presented with a beautiful 200 year old St. James holy bible. In addition, over £350 was donated to provide for new wooden pews for St. Mary's church so that the whole congregation can be seated during services. This project has also resulted in the church and members of the congregation sponsoring 5 children with the Foundation. Photos can be viewed here.
The Signum Foundation, Poland
The Signum Foundation [www.signum.art.pl] is a Polish charity that works with children and youths. Whilst primarily engaged in promoting education and art for children in Poland, as part of its outreach program it is supporting BSUF with its educational program in Uganda. Education, the Foundation believes, is the best tool to fulfill potential and create a 'better reality' for people living in poverty.
The Foundation has recently awarded a Scholarship to a talented 13 year old Ugandan boy to enable him to commence his studies at one of the most prestigious secondary schools in Uganda. It is also enrolling Polish sponsors for other Ugandan children through their primary education.
Children of Uganda (UK) - BSUF is most grateful for the support from the Signum Foundation and others in Poland.
Rushden Community College in Northampton
A school link has been formed between Rushden Community college and Future Victory Primary School in Butansi village. The students from both schools learn about each other's day at school, activities, subjects studied, and future aspirations. Future victory students use local materials like sisal, banana fibres to make skipping ropes, footballs and baskets which they send to their pen pals at Rushden. The students at Rushden had sponsored walks, bake sales, sports activities and raised £200 towards the Construction of an Art room at Future Victory. We had a donation of £500 from the school council and part of this has been spent towards acquiring a bicycle (transportation) for the trustees in the village and the balance is going towards the Art room.
