| Introduction | I am a British woman living in Palabek Refugee Settlement in Uganda. In 2013 I went to Nimule in South Sudan as a volunteer teacher at a local orphanage. In 2015 I co-founded a school for the most marginalised children in Nimule, those from families with HIV, disabilities and orphans. My partners were two local organisations. Since 2018 I have been assisting several deaf children and blind children to go to Uganda for schooling as there are no facilities available for them locally. In 2024 due to circumstances described in the blog, I moved the primary school to a new site, with a change of name to Liberty Nursery and Primary School. I fundraise through a charity called Opportunity through Education for funds for the students who I still support. I use this blog to create interest in the lives of the children I am trying to help and to create awareness of my work. I am no longer living in Nimule, but the children are still very close to my heart and still need to finish their education so that they have hope for the future. |
