Slum kids steal the show at their school Christmas party

Well, the Child of Hope Christmas party was a huge success for all the children and the parents they invited, plus local community leaders and friends… thank you everyone who donated to make this Christmas very special for our pupils!
   Local VIPs from the Namatala slum district of eastern Uganda said lots of nice things about the school and its positive impact on the families and community. One local councillor said how very impressed he continues to be with our work and that he will continue to support us.
   But the main thing… the kids had a whale of a time! Lots of them put on special performances, there was good food and gifts for all, and loads of fun and giggles. Click here to see more pictures.
   Child of Hope is building a huge (by slum standards) school for the area's most vulnerable children, providing free education, food, clothing... plus parental support with life skills and business training with start-up grants.
