2017 A busy year

Trustees, friends, teachers and children of masindi

During our visit we hired a bus and took 12 members of staff who work with the disabled children at the Kamurasi School including some staff working in the Vocational Training Unit to the Masindi Centre of The Handicapped.  This is a Special Needs School only.  The staff from the Kamurasi School were able to observe lessons and look at teaching resources made cheaply or created by the teachers themselves to aid learning. This was a wonderful opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other.  We also paid for a lunch that all the staff enjoyed. 

We paid to have two 1.5 metre mirrors made, one for the boarding hostel and one hung in the resource room.  We soon realised that many of the children had never seen what they looked like from head to toe.  It was quite an incredible experience observing the children’s reactions and responses seeing themselves for the first time. 

We had our annual meeting with the Inspector for Schools and the Local District Director for schools in Masindi.   This meeting was very positive and as currently there are now over 40 children boarding at the school, they agreed to fund for a new signing teacher who would start after Christmas.
