Whenever and however we can, we support the Nyaka Aids Orphans Project in Southwestern Uganda. With two Primary Schools in operation, a health clinic, a water pump, libraries that are inclusive of the community under their belt, they are building a vocational school and a Secondary School at the Nyaka campus. You can read the story of their founding in “A School for My Village” by Jackson Kaguri. In June 2013, we purchased 18 computers, 8 of which went to the teachers in Nyaka and 10 of which are used in partnership with Fundi Bots, an NGO teaching Robotics to schoolchildren throughout Uganda.
Here are some of the emails I received after the teachers received the laptops:
Hullo Sandra,
How are you doing? I wish to appreciate for your donation.
Sincerely, I am very happy using a computer which has helped me in teaching and compiling classwork.
May God bless you.

Long live Sandra.
Long live Nyaka School.
Yours-in-service

Driving to this place takes almost 12 hours and there are some harrowing moments on the roads, especially during the rainy season. What must it now feel like to be connected to rest of the planet via a screen and keyboard? My heart was filled with joy when I read these emails. As Jackson is fond of saying, “The best is yet to come!”
