This week we were happy to have Ray and Pat Sutton with us from Classrooms for Africa. Ray was the director of our PAOS projects in Uganda since the beginning in 1993, and has recently retired in order to focus on another program, Classrooms for Africa, that he and Pat initiated a few years ago. Classrooms for Africa helps needy Christian schools in several African countries construct basic facilities for their students. Several of their projects are in Uganda, including some schools that we have worked with to provide teacher training. It is a great cooperative effort to see quality Christian schooling made available to many Ugandan children.

Touring the site
Another Christian secondary school in the area, which hopefully will become a feeder school for our advanced level high school (Timothy Girls’ High School) is busy constructing a dormitory for their students, also with help from C4A. We made a visit to the site to see their progress as well.
At present, the students sleep in one of the classrooms and in the administration office, so the dormitory will be a huge help!
