Mark and i just returned from visiting Carla Christian Primary School, Igalazza Village Uganda. It has been over two and a half years since we last visited. There have been so many improvements and changes since we opened in 2021.
When we started we had no land of our own, no water, no enclosed classrooms, no offices, no support staff housing, three teachers and 48 students. We now have all of these and over 180 students and a staff of 12.
God and people like you, have helped change a community by providing education for the children, feeding children and providing jobs and purchasing food locally. Your prayers have been extremely impactful. We also thank all of you who have donated and are sponsoring children. We could not have done any of this without your help.
We are now would truly appreciate more help. We need more people to help by sponsoring a child. This helps to provide for the children monthly. Food is a huge expense. We feed all the children a large lunch and two snacks each day. We also have 27 students that live at our school. We feed the students living at the school three meals and two snacks each day.
Currently there are 20 boys living together in one of our classrooms and 7 girls are living in our very cramped sick bay. We are going to need to build both a girls dorm and a boys dorm that will house 50 students in each. Many staying at the school are orphans or it just is not safe for them to stay home. We interviewed some of the students while we were there and the stories are heartbreaking. They all said they would rather live at the school than to go back to where they were.
The cost for each dorm will be about $35,000. We are praying we will be able to build the dorms in 2026.
Mark and I had a wonderful time and it felt so good to see how every dollar donated has gone to help and change so many lives. It was also so wonderful to see how much they love Jesus and in return how much Jesus loves them. You feel and see God moving in the lives of those in this village. You are welcome to join us the next time we return there.
Please feel free to reach out to Mark or I if you would like to learn more or if you have any questions.
God Bless you!
Carla
