We are back at Watkinson! It is hard to believe just a few months ago, we were in Uganda and teaching at Katarara Primary School. Now we begin the next phase of our work: fundraising.
Katarara Primary School is a lead school in their district with amazing teachers and hardworking students. Katarara Primary's computer program has flourished since the donation of laptop computers from UCONN Medical School and Watkinson two years ago. Unfortunately, each day the laptops have to be set up, used and put away because the only free room with electricity is the small faculty room.
Our goal is to raise the $6,000 needed to complete an unused building, move one grade into it and use the newly freed room as a permanent computer lab for the students. Through the sale of goods we bought in Uganda, a soon to be launched crowdfunding campaign and other fundraisers, we hope to help Katarara Primary continue to give their students the best education possible.
