- don't send me money. I don't need it. But I know a place where they do need
- your money. Please read on.
-
- Summer 1993 I spent one month in Uganda with a Dutch team. I was very
- impressed with what I experienced there. Together with local people we built a
- nursery school in Kibaale. In only three weeks from nothing to a roofed
- building!
-
- Kibaale is a small town in the south of Uganda. It is an area that is suffering
- from AIDS very badly. About 30% of the adults are infected. Because parents
- die, there are many orphans. They need a lot of help. The Kibaale children
- centre is working hard to provide the needy with food, medical care and
- education. Food and medical care to keep them healthy now, and education so
- that they can take care of themselves in the future. This is the best charity
- program I have ever encountered.
-
- The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been
- neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
- wars. Now that the governement is stable again the people have to learn how to
- take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is also help for
- people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to prevent people from
- getting ill and learn them how to grow their own crops.
-
- I was impressed by the progress that is being made there. The work is very
- well organized. Every dollar is spent on something useful. Our team brought
- about $2000. For that money we were able to built most of a two classroom
- nursery school. They have further plans to build a primary school and houses
- for the teachers. They also need money for books and other teaching materials.
-
- If you want to support the Kibaale children centre, please send a contribution.
-
- How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my
- personal guarantee as the author of Vim. Further the project is co-sponsored
- and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and International Child
- Care Fund. I will work for the project as a volunteer from September 1994 to
- August 1995.
