Helping Hands

The Canadian team with us (some in Kibaale and some at Timothy Centre) are keeping busy with various tasks….and enjoying getting to know the Ugandan staff and students we work with.

While Karl and I were down in Kibaale last week, some of them were able to help me conduct a workshop and assist teachers in making some really useful math teaching aids.

The children on the team have connected very well with the Kibaale students and have enjoyed playing soccer, engaging in conversations about life in Canada and Uganda, and joining the school outreach activities.

Two of our team members are nurses, and have been able to give assistance during this very busy time in the clinic, the height of ‘malaria season’.

Team members were also happy to share encouraging words with our staff at the weekly “Staff Fellowship” time.

Here at Timothy Centre, the teachers on this team have been working with our Timothy Girls’ College staff, helping with lessons and giving professional development training.  Our visiting horticultural specialist is busy touring local agriculture initiatives with Karl, as the two of them plan to expand the farming programs and introduce new crops and methods here at TC.  Stay tuned for further updates on the teams’ activities!
