We're Back....
Monday...We spent most of the day traveling to Fort Portal (5 hrs away). Once we arrived there, we stopped at Tooro High School. It is the high school that is ran by Idah and Henry’s (her husband) non-for-profit, Parents Concern. Currently, GFR sponsors 81 orphaned children at this private high school of 230 students. Each orphan student is provided scholastic materials, plates, cups, mosquito net and school uniform. 58 girls actually live on campus. When we arrived, they put on quite a show for us…singing and cultural dances. Many of the students were in the middle of exams so we were not able to stay long on campus. Milton (field officer) gave us a very professional power point presentation of the current Parents Concern projects, goals and stats. As I said before, the Ugandan staff really has a solid handle on the status of the families and projects that are being funded by their US sponsors. It was a good day and the students are impressive. The spoke proper English and are dedicated to their studies.
