  Beschreibung

  My name is Patrick and me and my wife Venerah are the founders of our school. It is located in Kalungu village, Luwero District, close to Kampala. It was founded in 2005 with four classes and now we have currently seven classes with a population of 211 pupils and seven teachers. Both of us are teachers and we decided to start a school to help low income families which cannot afford bigger schools in town. Our family has 6 members with some that work at the school and others who study nearby.We currently have (9) nine teachers paid from the little we get from tution. Three none teaching staff ie, a cook,a matron and an askari
  
  The major best needs of our village are locally available at a free charge and at low cost. The community is friendly and welcoming. The climate is also friendly with two rain seasons a year. This has enabled us to grow our own local food in the gardens.
  
  What you will love about our place is that the school is in a natural environment with fresh air, quiet and some sunshine.
  Also the children are disciplined and eager to learn. They will be happy to study any new subject like languages, sports and physical education, and culture exchange.
