The project is concerned in improving both teaching and learning in Ugandan
primary schools through the use of slates and chalk. The team has
been working with four diocesan schools -- Kamaiba Primary School
in Kasese, Kitalikibi Primary School in Bwera, Kagando Primary
School in Kisinga and Ibanda Primary School in Ibanda, as well as
Bwera Teacher's College. Teachers have responded very positively
to the work, which now enters a new phase with support for the
Diocesan Education Officer, Rev. Asa Kiriaghe. The project is
partly funding Rev. Asa, providing additional resources to the four
schools and has donated a van to the diocese for use by the project
and for the diocesan community.

Each day, the team members and teachers played "the parachute game" with the students and a great time was had by all!
