  Arbeit

  Our organization’s fundamental values and practices aim at improving the lives of young kids and the youths. We organize kids and youths centered programs which are collaboratively led by our leaders, the kids and youths and supervised by our leaders. We run various programs from the kids’ program, sports program, music program, Art and Crafts program ,dance program, girls ‘program, and the school fees;
  
  THE KIDS PROGRAM ; This program enables kids to meet and learn various activities such as drawing, painting, watching movies, playing, reading and writing.
  
  THE SPORTS PROGRAM ; In this program we intend to introduce more activities such as swimming, tennis, volleyball, and basketball. The most active aspect of the sports program is football (soccer), children and youths are trained from a young age to develop their talents and skills in football (soccer) and a chance to learn team building and communication skills. We also recently introduced badminton, netball and ultimate frisbee (The flying disc) in this program and we intend to introduce more sports activities such as swimming, tennis, volleyball, and basketball in the near future.
  
  THE MUSIC PROGRAM ; in this program kids and youths are taught music instruments including guitar, keyboards and ukulele but hoping to extend the lessons furthermore in various instruments like violin(and other string instruments ), drums, piano, brass instruments and woodwind instruments. Kids are encouraged to express their feeling through playing instruments and singing. The program’s core value is “spreading love through music world wide”.
  
  THE DANCING PROGRAM; This program includes multiple workshops about dance from tap dance, break dance, Ugandan traditional dance, contemporary dance, afro-house dance and hip hop, in this program basics and body discipline are the most emphasized components of dance.
  
  THE SCHOOL FEES PROGRAM; It so happens that we are operating in areas of disadvantaged people with limited opportunities, and inability to access basic social and economic needs.
  This program was established to cater for children to at least be able to have a chance to go to school as a strategy for transforming them in responsible global citizens.
  
  
  THE ARTS AND CRAFTS PROGRAM; In this program children and the youth are trained how to tie and dye, painting, printing t-shirts, weaving, sculpture and ceramic making, jewelry and craft making and Art Theory for a clear understanding of art. Through this they learn how to develop and improvise with various fashion techniques.
  
  We welcome volunteers with any other social skills and knowledge, who can assist in the above mentioned programs
