Boni Consili Girls Vocational Secondary School Multi-Purpose/Assembly Hall
In this remote but peaceful town of Kyabirukwa, some 45 km from Mbarara, the second largest city in Uganda, lives some 30 nuns, sisters of the congregation of Our Lady of Good Counsel. The sisters are determined to give the best education to children especially girls. The sisters have over 100 acres of land where they grow mainly staple food banana (matoki), groundnuts, potatoes and an assortment of vegetables. The community is self-sustaining. This community runs three schools: a primary school with over 400 students, a high school for girls with over 150 girls and a vocation skill center for older girls with 30 students.

THE CHILDREN’S EDUCATIONAL FUND
The Canadian Samaritans for Africa has entered into partnership with the CHEF Uganda to help to dig wells to serve the water need of the camp as well as provide water for the Soroti community. The Canadian Samaritans for Africa will also support the development of the centre’s educational facilities by building hostels and classrooms. Read the story of the Foundation, and consider donating to support and empower these happy, strong and ambitious children who have lost their parents through war and HIV/AIDS.
It will cost 5, 000 Canadian dollars to dig a well for the camp. Dr Alex Ojacor was in Canada to meet with our board members, and share with them as well as some of our donors the heroic work he is doing with these children with little or no financial support. We donated the sum of 5,000 for the first well and hope that it will be completed by the end of 2008.
