Dear friends, can you help me please?
Are you replacing your smart phone soon or have one you have already finished with? If so, could I have it for a young man called Alex in Uganda? Alex is one of the students we support. He moved in with Innocent who is my project manager and friend, when his own family broke up a few years ago. Alex goes into his Senior Four (O Level) next term and the new curriculum asks that the parents provide a smart phone for the students to use in IT lessons. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Gerry 😊

The photo was taken in January 2020 before I returned home from Uganda straight into the Covid years! Hoping you can help.
Thanks Gerry x

Wonderful news! Good Luck Junior School has been awarded an official license now they have an office and library! More good news is that the pupils in Primary 7, the eldest children age 14-17, sat for their National Primary Leavers Certificate which is essential for progressing on to secondary school or getting employment. This only happened because of us supporting the school! Doesn’t that feel good? Everything you help me do in Uganda makes a difference and I couldn’t do any of it without you!
The building is now being painted inside and out and shelves made to take the primary syllabus books I hope to purchase for them when I go out to Uganda.
They will soon be breaking up for the holidays, always taken in the long dry season, so I must send our contribution towards the teachers salaries out this week and then again during the holidays when they receive half pay.
Thanks to all of you who are continuing to support me to keep this school not only open but flourishing! How things have changed for the children of this village since 2020 when I first came across Good Luck Junior School while delivering mosquito 🦟 nets! 😊
I’m going to book my flights next week so will let you know dates and what I hope to achieve during my stay. Feeling sort of nervous and excited at the same time! Thanks for always being there for me!
Love and appreciation to you all.

Big thank you as usual to you from me and all the young people who benefit by your kindness. X

Yes, it was the amazing £200 I received from the children at Marton School in Macclesfield, along with a donation from a lovely couple I met on holiday, plus donations from looking after your doggie friends and the payout from easyfundraising.com.uk that some of you kindly use when you shop online, that paid for the building.
From the day I gave Innocent, my good friend and project manager, the go ahead the building work started!
As you can imagine the teachers and children are so thrilled and are very grateful to you all. I look forward to purchasing some more books now, as they have so few!
As you might remember, the District Education Officers in March informed Ibrahim the head teacher that the school didn’t qualify for a license to run. So once again we’ve made a difference! Thank you! 🤗

Dear Friends
I will be returning to Uganda in February to live and work in the community helping wherever I can in particular delivering mosquito nets to those who cannot afford to buy one for themselves and their families. Malaria is still the biggest killer of young children, pregnant mums and the elderly in Uganda. Please could you help me raise money for mosquito nets by joining easyfundraising where the retailer gives Gerry’s Uganda Project a percentage every time you shop online at no expense to yourself. It really is so easy! Thanks to the 16 people already signed up. Gerry x
