Profile

Three years ago my mother died and my father disappeared. My grandmother brought me to Peace School and fortunately, they have provided for me. My days at Peace School begin at 4:00 a.m. when we get up, bathe, dress and brush our teeth. Then we prepare our lessons. Around 7 a.m. we have tea. Classes begin at 7:30 a.m. Lunch is served at 1:00 p.m. We eat matoke, rice and beans that have been prepared in the School kitchen. We eat in an open air dining shed located in the school yard. During recess in the mornings and afternoons we play football and other games. The school day ends at 4: 30 p.m. After dinner we do homework and sometimes chores at the school. By 9:00 p.m. we are in bed for the night.
 
I have studied hard at Peace School and have won some academic competitions. My favorite subject is Social Studies. My best friend is Arnold. We like to study together.
 
If I can achieve my dream of being a doctor I would like to help other orphans. I would appreciate your help in obtaining the education I need to reach this goal.
 
Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a private school serving orphans and other children unable to afford the costs of attending public schools. As such, it receives no funding from public sources. Located in a suburb of Uganda’s capital city Kampala, the school is in a highly urban setting and must pay for water and sanitation service as well as teacher salaries and facilities. School Supplies include a school uniform, other clothing (underwear and after school clothing), hygiene items (soap, toothpaste, laundry soap, haircuts, etc) medical care, transportation, and entertainment (sports equipment, musical instruments). Educational materials include text books, light for studying at night, pencils, paper, etc. Room and board includes bedding, three meals a day seven days a week, and 24/7 adult supervision.
