Holiday Parties in Uganda!
Each year we put on holiday parties with lots of sweeties, music, playing games and much more for our Busoga and Kagoma Gate schools. The Kagoma Gate party involves the whole village and both schools parties also include our great teachers. We also put on a party for our Wairaka village and a party for our Koi Koi kids and lastly, one for our team.
The party for Kagoma Gate is by far the biggest celebration and the most amount of food they see all year. We also give a monetary gift to each TGCA teacher and amazing staff. ❤️🤶🎁
These are just the first parties and some pics.
Check out our Koi Koi Kids/ girls in their new dresses, and all our all our Koi Koi kids together. They are not the little kids we found and rescued them 9 years ago . The Giving Circle
Need a new sponsor: Keith Isabirye
Keith recently lost his sponsor and we are looking for a new one so that Keith can stay in school. We are VERY grateful for his previous sponsor for Keith wouldn’t be where he is today.
Keith lives with the grand’s. He is described as a caring and social child. This is affirmed by his actions as he will share every bit of his eats with age mates in the neighborhood. He is found of crafting vehicles and is often seen cruising them.
He loves school because he will hardly be woken up for school and he is reportedly always punctual.
To sponsor Keith, please click here! Thank you!
First Annual Giving Thanks Fundraiser a Success!
It was a GREAT day at the first annual Giving Thanks College Football watching party and corn hole tournament day at Racing City Brewery.
This years event was to raise funds to fit-out the new home for the Gonzalez family who lost everything in a house fire. The family daughter is wheelchair bound which requires modifications to the home such as ramps, doors made wider and a special bathroom to make her life much easier.
The Funds from this event will help us do what The Giving Circle does so well, with our local work the big 3 R’s: Renovate, Repair and Rebuild. Also, the very best part is having a family allow us into their homes to help improve their lives.
This event went off so well — thanks to the leadership of the project by Mary Gage Los. GREAT Job Mary and everyone who helped make it a fun-draiser!
