Playground Equipment
As the school in Nakabango continues to grow, the leaders have indicated an interest in putting in playground equipment. This is not something that happens very often in Uganda and so we are very excited to be a part of something that indicates such an interest in the well-being of the children! Nakabango is looking for see saws, slides, swing sets, a merry-go-round, and a climbing tower.
Desks
In addition to a playground, Hearts & Hope is raising funds to buy materials to construct wooden desks in the carpentry shop for grades P6 and P7 for the older children. Currently the children sit on crowded benches and must either kneel beside the bench or balance paper on their lap when they have any assignment that involves writing. Teachers in Uganda indicate that test scores are notably higher when kids have the ability to use a desk. Each desk costs $75 and is shared by 4 students. You can see a sample desk in the photos below.
