What a life changing experience this has been for the three of us, the Arise Africa organization, students and children. This would not have been possible without the generous contributions from numerous people and organizations. The donations have impacted far beyond what we anticipated. Not only did we build lasting relationships with many, but were also able to provide a sports complex. With this addition, we hope to have an annual sports tournament at the Secondary School for schools across Uganda. Arise Africa has a clear vision of where they want to take this organization. Their success has provided and will continue to provide more opportunities for affordable education and jobs for the people of Uganda, which is exactly what this country needs. Whenever the funds are available, they plan to build more dormitories at the Secondary School, a larger guesthouse in Bukeleba and a medical clinic that will service the community surrounding Bukeleba. Pastor Godfrey, the director of Arise Africa, stressed to us the importance of finishing this project that we started ( the sports complex). Although we are leaving Uganda, our work is not finished. We are continuing to raise money for the completion of the sports complex as well as sport equipment (shoes, baseball gloves and bats, goals and uniforms) and the organization of the annual tournament. We are excited to continue this journey and we hope that you will unite with us to see this event thrive for many years to come.
We will always cherish our time spent in Uganda. We grew personally and spiritually from our encounters with the joyful people of Uganda. We cannot thank you enough for turning this possibility into a reality and want you to know that you helped change the lives of many deserving individuals.
If you have any questions, are interested in contributing to Arise Africa by serving in Uganda or financially, please contact Layne, Kaitlyn or Thomas.
May God bless you all,
Layne, Kaitlyn and Thomas
