One Million Starving for Food and Education!

One million people face famine in Northern Uganda!

The WFP is handing out food and Stanlake Samkange, WFP country director pleads that "Handing out food will not improve the underlying causes of food insecurity," which, Samkange said, include illiteracy levels especially among girls; poor access to basic health services; bad infrastructure and a narrow set of livelihood options.

Niteo will be touring Northern Uganda this summer to ask the question "What does helping look like?" in support of education.

Niteo has friends who are getting involved in Kelowna, including all of the students who performed with Mrs. Rhonda Draper and Joy Hlady, event organizers, of Raise Your Voice II at the Kelowna Community Theatre last night.

We are excited about how people are becoming sensitized to the developing world and how we can personally get involved, both in Canada and Uganda!
