Update from Chemwania,Uganda site!
We are very sorry for not updating our blog quite often and rhis has been brought about by unavoidable circumstances.
Chemwania is our pioneer site in Uganda and the project serves secondary school students of Chemwania High School.
Last week we resumed our training after 6 days of inactivity as the school was hosting the District Athletics Championship.
We embarked on a ground-breaking program covering the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS.At the end of the lesson,students were allowed 2 hours to chat with their friends where they were expressing their views about HIV/AIDS.
Students of Form One were not left behind either as they were introduced to Computers and computing and what makes xo laptops more suitable than other computers. This is a new class of 250 students that has been brought on board.We hope to complete the introduction to computing and xo laptops and afterwards engage them in Maths and HIV/AIDS.
The students in Chemwania are very interested and this has greatly boosted our programs.We have 6 teachers who are working tirelessly to help this students.

Teachers Training in Pokot
We started a teachers training in Pokot some few weeks ago and we have now reached the end.The training was amazing and it was an eye opener for us as the interest from the part of the teachers was amazing and encouraged.
We were invited to do training on individual schools which we happily accepted and we are designing programs to cover these schools.
This therefore implies we shall expand by covering more schools and hence expansion.
Expansion is good but it comes with its problem and we have to plan before we take any action.We shall update you as we progress
Lost our Laptops
I am very sorry for taking quite a long time without updating our blog.Some people broke into my house and stole my latops.Since then I have not been able to update our blog as the laptops were hooking us to the internet and on top of that it had all the programs and files of our projects.
We are collecting the pieces and re-organizing our self and we shall be back on track very soon.
Otherwise,our field programs are running very well and wait for our next update.
Till next time bye.
