Lugazi: Little Angel's Primary, St. Peter's Primary and Homeland College

This is one of the few days we went to Lugazi. We started our day at Little Angels Primary School. They have about 300 students. This school is in a poor area deep in the town of Lugazi. We always enjoy going to this school and speaking with the kids there. The picture below shows some of the younger students.

The girl in the picture with me is named Nammudu, which is the name I've been given in Uganda. It means "servant".

Here is some of the students at St. Peter's Primary School. I had my first experience of speaking to a large group of students here just two years ago. Lots of fun memories. The teachers and students are always very nice.

A typical classroom. Most posters have English words as they are taught English in schools.


These boys were out having fun in the street. You don't often see American style toys, but as kids will do anywhere, they just find something to play with.

Our last stop in Lugazi that day was at Homeland College. The students were absolutely wonderful. They had lots of great questions for us.




That's all for now. Hope you enjoy checking out the pictures.

Takajjunge Primary School

Wow, sorry it's taken so long to get back to updating this blog. Time sure has gotten away from me lately. Our boys are out of school for the summer and we already have lots of plans for the next month! I'm so glad that summer's just around the corner, but Spring seems to be going by too fast. It's time to slow down and see what really needs to be done, like getting some updates from our last trip on here :) Hope you enjoy!



The following pictures are from our short visit to Takajjunge Primary School. Last year we visited there and I was struck on how many students didn't have shoes on their feet. During our question and answer time, one student asked us if all the kids in the U.S. have shoes. We get lots of funny questions, Scripture questions, really insightful questions, but this one really has stayed with me. I was looking forward to going back to this school. Rev. Stephen told us last year that this particular area has been hit hard with AIDS and there are many orphans, which also means many very poor people. There have been many people here (in the US) who have said we should do some kind if shoe drive for this school. It sounds so much easier than it is. It will be very easy to gather the shoes. The problem lies in getting them all there. Montana (a girl from our church) has given this much thought and prayer. She's working on getting something together for in the near future. When it all works out, we'll let you hear about it!

Hope you have a blessed day!
