Wonder World

Lots has been happening for our 6 Escape girls. Several of them were able to take part in a field trip to Wonder World, an amusement park. Darphine, Dinah, and Ketty came along with the CUS kids and they had a blast. Darphine, in particular, had a smile that never left her face, and this is wonderful to see from such a shy girl.

We met with the family of Dinah and Ketty, and enrolled them in a new school, as they weren't doing well in their other one. This new school is much better, closer, and is right behind CUS so that it will be easy for Hellen, the director, to monitor them. It is called St. Mary's, and it is a brand new school. I will write about this school in a separate post, as it is looking likely that we will send all 6 girls here next year. We are meeting with Darphine's family soon.

Rebecca and Betty have just finished exams at their school; Luzira Secondary School. They had exams on a wide variety of subjects including geography (Betty's favourite), fine arts, mathematics, and history. They studied hard.

The girls are all very bright, and have bright futures. During our trip to Uganda it was a priority to meet with them, get to know them, and talk about how we can best plan for their futures. After lots of discussion, we have a great plan, and some changes (including the school they go to) will be made. But more on that in a future post!
