Many thanks to Christa and Rick, long-time sponsors who joined Carol in Jinja this past February to teach English classes to more than 35 of our women  beaders. Rick taught the advanced-basic level, including reading and writing -- skills that are new for many of the ladies. Christa taught introductory level.  Her class was so excited about learning English, they are continuing to meet every week and Christa will join them for a monthly class via Skype to help them continue to learn.

Do you want to teach English or another skill in Uganda? Volunteers help our beaders develop and learn many things. In this case, learning English is incredibly vital because English is the language in which business is conducted in Uganda. But our beaders speak Acholi, a language native to the north of the country and not spoken in the Jinja area. You can make a great impact upon their lives by teaching for as little as one week! Carol goes back in May and again in July if you would like to join her.
