I'm raising funds to help Ugandan girls go to school every day
I'm a retired Canadian journalist in Vancouver, BC. In 2009-10 I lived in Uganda, volunteering with the Abayudaya community in the eastern Mbale district. I taught English writing in their schools, helped write successful grant proposals for an egg farm and cervical cancer screening, and brought about a number of initiatives. These have included bringing a drinking water line to the high school, launching a lunch program for orphans at the high school, and supplying AFRIpads to the girls.
