I read, I saw, I cried ... The more I read, the more touched I am, but the more sad and angry also ... How can all that, still be going on in 2007 ...
On an another note, my students (K's remember!) would like to know why all the children (boys and girls) seem to be "bald" or don't have a lot of hair? (I told them I would ask and show them the question!)
Seriously uncle howie. Flip the pictures! I know you probably don't have time and can't bother with rotating the photos. They are incredible. The one of the little girl in the princess dress breaks my heart. It was probably a hand-me-down from a halloween costume or a flower girl dress. Keep the pictures coming and good work on getting the kids food&getting their name. I'm definitely naming my child Immaculate one day. I wish i could send some stuff for these kids. My friends are reading your blogs and they are very impressed. Stay safe and i look forward to more blogs with rotated photos! Evan sends his love! Panya Yanya... Love, Marissa
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.

Great text and photos. Obviously this is vital work and must be supported.
How about elaborating on financial needs and including a mechanism for donations in the Blog?
