New video - a day in Child of Hope's nursery class

NAMATALA SLUM, UGANDA: A new short video of a day in the life of our nursery children - these are the youngest in our slum school in Uganda. It shows a little girl called Favour from the time she walks to school with a couple of friends until going home.

Around 40 children from the Namatala slum join our school each year and the cost for running our school (where everything is free for the kids) is helped enormously when supporters sponsor a child like Favour – who isn’t sponsored yet, by the way!

Could you help us by sponsoring a child through school? It costs just £15 per month. You can write to them if you like and you will receive school reports and letters from the child each year. The main thing is, it will help us give them a serious lift-up from the worst excesses of slum poverty.

JED Art's Italian range; new ceramic additions soon

Jan Dowding's first Italian range pots went down so well that she is now making a new batch. They take two days to make, starting with cutting the shapes, leaving overnight to leather harden; then joining together the body; attaching a neck and carving ’til it is nice and smooth. Each one unique.

This is how the first batch looked before selling pretty fast…

Christmas videos and slum kids' party

CHILD OF HOPE, UGANDA: It's December and time for the slightly daft Child of Hope Christmas videos! There will be seven short videos between now and Christmas Eve, each with a verse of our children’s very own Christmas Carol. Enjoy!

And now the children are preparing their party dances, because the COH slum kids Christmas party is nearly upon us!
