Dear sponsors and friends
|
For almost two years, most schools in Uganda were closed in order to limit the
spread of the coronavirus pandemic. For the past three months, educational
institutions have been allowed to open once again. As predicted, the restart has
taken some time. Meanwhile, some 300 young people are now being taught in six
classes at Beatrice Secondary School Kyankwanzi.
|
School Principal Regina Nasseremba is in her element. The campus has finally come
to life again and she is able to apply herself according to her strengths.
|
Recently, the care facility at the school was filled with patients. No one knows for
certain as to whether the coronavirus was to blame. No tests took place.
|
|
Fortunately, however, the disease has generally taken a milder course there.
|
Classes are taking place already in the Annina Hänny school building,
although the construction workers are yet to finish their work there. The plasterers,
painters and plumbers are still busy. The plumbers are hard at work on ensuring that
the biogas plant can be put into operation. As far as electricity is concerned, Regina
wants to make sure that the supply is reliable, as the electricity provided by the state
isn’t always available. Therefore, the school Principal is looking into various options
regarding solar power systems, although the size of the building is a challenge for the
experts.
|
The students will soon break up for the Easter holidays. The holidays will be a
welcome break in which to spend time with family members and to relax. And that
also includes Regina and her loved ones. But it goes without saying that the “boss”
will still be keeping a close eye on her multifaced business.
|
We take this opportunity to wish you, dear reader, all the very best and a happy
Easter.

Since the schools reopened on January 8th 2022, students of the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland have been doing their internship at the Hill View primary school and the BSSK.
