More Education Oppportunities

Congratulations to two of the young women from the House of Jjajja Don. Phelaine has been accepted back into Makerere University in Kampala. She starts on August 26th. She has also been offered an opportunity to come to the United States to study in a small college in Illinois. They want to see how her grades are in Kampala after having been away for a while. 

Also, Aminah has been accepted to a one year basic certificate course at he Kampala YMCA in Tailoring and Design. She hopes this will help her sewing section working for the Diakonia Products out of the house.

Truly it is through safety, education and skills development that these young women will be able to make their futures different.

Rent Contract on the House of Jjajja Don

Dear Don,

 

Congrats upon your successful trip to Rome!

 

The brother to Mr Ntabara Ahammed, who is the land lord of the girls' premises,  told me, Ntambara is improving and I expected to meet him last Friday, only to call me that very morning that he was unable to turn up.

 

House renting: We talked on the phone with Mr Ntambara, who told us to make an increment of Ug. Shs. 50,000/- of what we had paid in the last contract, i.e. 650,000/= + 50,000/= =700,000/= @ month, which brings it to 8,400,000/=  an equivalent of Us $ 3,360 with the USD at 2500 Ugandan shillings.

Best regards,

 

Gerald

I will plan to wire funds to Fr Gerald in mid August pay pay for the next year's rent on the house. If anyone can help out you can send a check to St Aloysius Parish with "Uganda" on the memo line, 1234 Washington Blvd., Detroit, MI  48226.

Peace, Deacon Don
