: First Kira Farm Intake :

On 2 May, 16 female students were enrolled into Kira Farm Training Centre, Uganda. Thank you to everyone who has faithfully supported Amigos and this project over the past 5 years, it seemed as if this day would never come!

After having a good night's sleep from travelling many miles from all over Uganda, the 16 girls woke up Sunday morning to do housework have breakfast and then have church.

Grace our headmistress text us saying: ‘We are praising God in the lower classroom right now, I wish I had a camera. They are thanking God for you people and for giving them a chance in life, I'm in tears. God bless you all'.

One week later (Saturday) we have just received a text form Grace saying that: ‘The girls are so enthusiastic with their sewing lesson that they have missed their lunch, can you imagine'!  

Each student's first sewing task is to make their own pillowcases and curtains for their accommodation.
