14/2/2024 - Thought of the day

When in Uganda we try to understand the students lives from start to finish. Therefore, we try and see a full circle. We go to the primary school and street children project where students begin their journey. We then go to current NVI students homes so we are aware of where they were prior to NVI and who they are surrounded by. And then, we spend our time in the moment with the sponsored students working with them. Finally, we see some of our alumni and see how they’re getting on. We get to see the full circle. By coming back each year we get to see how the students develop and how their confidence grows from Year 1. We understand it’s quite daunting as a village child travelling all the way to NVI most likely alone to arrive outside the huge black modern gates to be told to knock for security not knowing exactly what will happen when they enter.
