It's now the end of 2009 and the first full year of our Volunteer Project. We would like to thank all the wonderful people who have come here to us to offer us their love, kindness, expertise and toil to improve the lives of our children and teachers. You have given us contact with the huge world outside our tiny community in a way that we would never have thought possible. We never dreamed we would meet people from all over the world. We never dreamed that we would have the opportunity to learn so much about other cultures. We  never dreamed that there were so many people who wanted to help us. Now we know that there are thousands of people who travel the world to help poor people like ourselves so that we can lead full, healthy and happy lives. You have all been a great blessing to us and because you live in our hearts and memories, even though you have gone home you are still with us.
We have just received the exam results for our P7 leavers. A simple way of expressing it is that the results are 10% better than the previous year. We are the only school in the sub county to have pupils who have achieved Division 1 results, which two of our children did! So not only has the previous decline been halted, but standards have been raised! We are overjoyed! We know that the reason is because of our volunteers who have improved everyone's morale and provided things for teachers to enable them to teach better and water, food and girl's sanitation provisions that make the children more able to attend school and learn effectively.

God bless you all and may your futures, and those of everyone you love, be filled with love, health and happiness.

Robinah Musakira (Head Mistress and Project Director), Moses Owino (Project Manager) and all the teachers, children, PTA, School Governing Body, our cook and our night watchman (the cook and watchman didn't have jobs before the project) thank you with all our hearts .
