Supporting Kakunyu School & its community
The UK charity Friends of Kakunyu School supports Kakunyu School in SW Uganda. This wonderful school, some 7 miles outside Masaka, is for nursery children up to the age of 6, and for children with special educational needs. Kakunyu School is one of the few schools in Uganda offering education to improve the cognitive skills of children with intellectual disability and other related learning difficulties. It has boarders and day scholars, boys and girls, disabled and abled, and is a joyous, joyful place. The school, opened in July 2010, stands out gloriously in its bush surroundings. Great things have been achieved by the school management committee, teachers, pupils, and parents over the last 6 years: and, with continuing help from the Friends of Kakunyu School and other organisations all over the world, ever greater things will be achieved by the children and community of Kakunyu School. _____________________ Click here to download a copy of Kakunyu School’s brochure. I wonder how many of us would have travelled solo – aged 18 – to the far reaches of rural Uganda , and taken on the task of teaching school staff how to use Excel to track accounts? Well, that’s exactly what Charlie Gregory did, and achieved some fantastic things while he was there. Pictures and some great videos will be posted here and on Facebook shortly (once we’ve got a grip). In the meantime – read his blog here. 
Charlie – traveller extraordinaire!
