Update
Kabawaala Infant School was built by the local community in 2012 because their youngest children were unable to walk the 5-6km to the nearest government-funded primary school. 2 mud buildings were built with roofs made of polythene and sacks. The nursery class were taught under the shade of a tree.
Suubi Community Projects were approached for help in 2016 and agreed to do so in memory of Lauren Patterson. Lauren is remembered fondly from her time as a teaching assistant at St George’s School, Luxembourg.
A new classroom block was constructed with funds from Awesome Cause Foundation and St George’s families in 2016 (on the right of the photograph above). A further classroom block is needed to replace the mud structures shown on the left - and Awesome Cause Foundation have generously pledged to double all donations towards it!
“Friends of St George’s school” in Luxembourg are organising a disco on 24th February 2018 to fundraise for the construction of this new classroom block.
