Construction – first steps
As we already announces earlier on, one of our main objectives is the construction of a school in Uganda. We have taken a large stride toward the goal, by finding two students of architecture, who plan our school!
Once again, it is time to travel to Uganda, to finally visit our sponsored children and bring them your letters and greetings!
We have been hard at work setting up the sponsor-packages, which we are very proud of. At the beginning of the sponsorship, all sponsors will gets a letter, a personal fact sheet with a picture of the child, and general information about the Tu-To sponsorship programme.
You missed our Tu-To Kick-off? Thankfully there were enough journalists who documented the successful evening. A big thank you to all the representatives of the press! You can find a short press review here.
A diverse audience, a thrilling lecture, great entertainment and diligent donor. A grand evening was the result. A big thank you to all guests, listeners, musicians, speakers and (future) sponsors and donors.
None other than Jean Ziegler said, ‘Franz Fischler was an excellent EU Agriculture Commissioner, probably the best who ever was’. We are very delighted, that Franz Fischler will speak some words about the topic at our Kick-Off Event.
Finally, we are starting activities for our association in Austria! Our first action will be a Kick-Off Event with a travel report by Manuel and an exhibition. General information about location, time and program you can find here.
Every time Manuel returns from Uganda, it’s a challenge for him to process the differences between these two worlds, for every time he’s in Uganda his encounters with locals and the life he sees around him shape his perspectives and leave a lasting impression on him. What he’s left with each time he returns home is a deep desire to do more for these deserving youth.
It was already the fifth time Manuel went to Uganda. At the airport in Entebbe two of his Ugandan friends were waiting for him to take him back to Fort Portal. Fort Portal lays in the very west of Uganda and is surrounded by a wonderful landscape. That is where he had a meeting with Joy for Children, a Ugandan Organisation that organizes sponsorships in Fort Portal.
Donation for a sponsor was collected at Theo’s christening. Thank you very much for the financial support!! It is very rewarding when people use such an occasion to help children in different circumstances.
