The Teachers and Staff encourage the children to get involved in activities which might help them when they grow up. One of these is looking after ducks and Chickens and we are grateful to the friends who support us in one way or another.
We began our "Piggery Project" in 2013 with 10 piglets, and thanks to the Binda Foundation grant, we fenced an area for the animals, and repaired the building that is their stye.
Raising pigs is not only a tremendous learning experience for the children - it also has an impact on our food and meals. The manure from the pig stye is collected and used to fertilize our gardens - increasing the crop yield. We have grown and harvested 45 watermelons in the last 60 days - a real treat for the children ...!
Give a person a fish and he will come back for more; give a hook and he will not come back. Our friends who contributed money to help us harvest water and plant food have been a blessing; one of the foods we planted was yellow bananas -- the children really enjoy them. We appreciate help of this kind because it increases our independence ... 
We've had our 45,000 liter water reclamation tank for two years now, and it has blessed us in two ways: we have our own reliable supply of water, and our cost to purchase water from the City has dropped dramatically ... the Entebbe Water District crews visited us recently to see if our meter had broken -- their only explanation for a Zero water bill the month before ...! We are adding a "rough cast" to the exterior of the tank to extend its life ... 
We want to thank all those who gave us money to plant food here at the school ... our
garden produced potatoes, pumpkins, maize and turnips - all of which made for a healthy diet this
year ...! The children learned about seeds, planting and germination, then tending to the
plants - then harvesting, and best of all -- eating ...!

The pupils at school rescued two dogs ... the children took them to the dog clinic
and had them treated. Then they built a house for the dogs ...this is a learning
experience and very responsible behaviour for all the students ... and the 2 puppies
now have a healthy life ahead of them!
Every 6 months, Nurses from Entebbe General hospital visit the school to check up on the
children's health and administer neede vitamin supplements. It is a good exercise, as it
helps ensure the physical well being of the students, and is a tremendous help to those
parents who are unable to buy the drugs themselves.
We have introduced another foreign language - German - and a volunteer from Germany,
Valentina, is teaching Introductory German to our Primary 2 and 3 classes.
Our newly refurbished Library is now very conducive to study ... and some
play - our children have discovered Jig Saw Puzzles ...!!!
