After we met the children for the last time both of us felt very sad. Such nice kids. So very cute. We had two parties: one for the teachers,one for the students Our students,and the other students from the kindergarden Our students got cereal,popcorn,dried dates so did the other students. Images of Uganda: hardworking people(passing by restaurant door before seven A.M bound for work,the woman at the hotel hard at work on the restaurant floor at 6:30 A.M.).; People of Kampala not standing for any wrong. They will beat-up those they feel have done wrong from thievery to murder(Hannah who lives here has seen mobs attack thieves,has been told of drivers of motorcycles,cars fleeing accidents because they are fearful of the vengeance of mobs.) Nice people,friendly,polite. Now its off to Zanzibar. See you people soon.

About Me
- Howard Shapiro Judy Labow
- The Namuwongo Literacy Project has, as its ultimate goal, the establishment of a ‘free-of-charge’, government recognized, full-time, co-educational, day school. The immediate goal is the increase in the number of pupils, school hours and Ugandan teachers. The Directors of the Namuwongo Literacy Project are Judy Labow and Howard Shapiro. During the summer of 2006, Ms. Labow led a team of educators volunteering in Namuwongo. This work led to the creation of the Namuwongo Literacy Project. In the summer of 2007, Howard Shapiro set in motion the ‘foundation’ necessary for the now sustainable Namuwongo Literacy Project.
