Meet our NEW Secondary School Students!

MEET OUR NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS!

First and foremost we would like to express our deepest appreciation to all our donors. Thanks to your generous commitment, we are able to continue the UKHF Scholarship Fund, sending 5 of the brightest students from Healing Focus to continue their secondary school education!

This is a tremendous achievement for everyone involved; from Esther Bagoole who is doing a tremendous job running Healing Focus school, to the fantastic teachers who have worked tirelessly despite the forced 2 year school closure due to COVID-19, to the determined students themselves, whose dedication, good humour and hard work continue to inspire us to do our best.

THANK YOU!

In 2022, our Senior 4 students will be completing their secondary school education at Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School, in Iganga. The Headmaster, Mr. Moses Sekelala, has expressed that they are doing very well and expects excellent results from them at the end of year National Exams.

Without further ado, it is with great pleasure that Esther Bagoole introduces us to our five new sponsored students, Polline, Gladys, Wickliffe, Jerimiah & Rachael.
