"Imagine a World...

...where every child has a smile."

Saturday at Kawanda...

The students at Kawanda High School created a social and political commentary through their music, dance, and dramatic competition today! It was an inspiring cultural experience where children had a voice and expressed themselves with confidence.

Some of the highlights included the performing arts expressions on the Rights of the Child and on the progressing Eastern African Union. Not only was the festival experience novel, but the content was new and a testimony to progress.

Although we are only one sleep from the tiring, long journey where we didn't see a bed for about 45+ hours; today was a unique and fabulous experience at Kawanda.

Our connection with Kawanda goes back to 2007, when Erika participated in Teaching Together with those teachers.

The bigger picture...

Years ago, when I was writing my graduate studies project, I dreamt of teachers who would come to Uganda and connect with other educators. They would teach together and build relationships where collegial support and professional conversations abounded. Erika has achieved that goal and Kawanda is testimony to it.

Erika has nurtured long term relationships with the teachers at Kawanda and Niteo has been able to continue to partner with these fine educators. Now, we exchange ideas, we offer science resources, they gift us with their culture. It is reciprocity at its finest. It achieves our vision of "partnering with Ugandans to establish hope and to nourish minds."

I love it when dreams come true!

More from Africa soon...
