2. Education Centres - fun, dynamic learning centres to complement class based learning for our partner schools.
3. Community Development Programme - extending the potential of the education centres to adult learning.
4. Partnerships - through partnerships bringing conservation to the classroom.
5. Special Needs Project - promoting inclusion of children with special needs. Providing ongoing training and support for teachers and families.

So what am I doing?

I am spending my time sharing my skills and knowledge as a Primary School teacher. I am teaching lessons to pre-school and primary children, helping teachers with their lesson plans, creating teaching resources, painting new schools and generally mucking in where needed!

I have seen the great things that softpower are doing here, and as a long term volunteer, I feel that I can make a contribution in improving the education experience for Ugandan children. I have to donate money each week to the charity to enable me to stay and volunteer  here - the money goes straight to the charity where they spend it on resources for schools, children and teachers. I will update this page with photos and information on how your money is being spent.
