On route back home from Uganda having visited Charlene Secondary School that many of you have helped build through donation. WOW. The most well built school on such a well planned compound with competent teachers and self confident pupils. Amazing to see it for first time. We have solar pumped running water throughout the site, solar electric and internet allowing me to Video call home. 2 amazing science labs with running water and gas. The 8 cluster Primary schools were well represented. Inspector of schools present and said it is the most beautiful school in district. Pupils did IT presentation with PowerPoint and they took apart an old desktop explaining how a computer works. They made soap and liquid soap from raw components and sold the liquid soap to parents present. Such confidence in S1 and S2 pupils holding microphone and describing what they were doing Would have been impressive in any secondary school anywhere in the world. Proud of our Ugandan team in Charlene Education Foundation for what they have achieved so far. The journey continues.
Wonderful and amazing support from Methodist College and their 1st X1 Girls Hockey Team. Thank you to all concerned at Methodist College for helping Charlene's Project make a difference in the lives of children in Uganda 🇺🇬
