Testimonial

In March, while we were in Australia visiting our son, I decided to be a little bit crazy and do a tandem skydive. I decided it would be good to try to raise some money towards building a new classroom for the Amolatar school. We had started sponsoring a scholar in January, and had been very impressed with the enthusiasm and effort of Jimmy and Calvin, and others, and also how friendly and caring the community was that supported the schools. I was overwhelmed by the support I got from friends and family, and managed to raise enough to build ‘the skys the limit’ classroom for the nursery children. Although we are far away in England I loved all the photos that showed the progress of the building, and finally, all the children sitting at their desks in the completed room.

SORD are doing amazing work, helping children from all backgrounds to get an education that will improve their life chances. I have been particularly impressed by the financial stewardship of the charity's funds, so sponsors and donors can be confident that their contributions will go to improve the learning experience for all the children at the two schools

My involvement with SORD goes back to the days of Moses. That's Omara Moses, the founder of the work for SORD who sadly died back in January 2023 under tragic circumstances. Everyone who knew Moses loved him and his God given enthusiasm for the children, orphans and communities of Kawempe and Amolatar. We are extremely grateful to Jimmy Kings (Ogwang) who gave up a good job teaching in a private school in order to take over the reins as executive director, with help from Moses younger brother Calvin, who is our managing director and currently studying for a degree in civil engineering. So with Jimmy, Calvin, Sally Crowe and myself, who work really well together, often with humour even in difficult circumstances to improve the lives of the children and their future prospects through education.
