Like me, 120 people around the world have committed to raise money and awareness for this African children HIV project. So far, we have raised $120,000! To think of the beds, books, bricks, medicines, this money will buy for these children is truly great, but perhaps even greater is the message that this sends--these children will know that people in this world, that they don't even know, care about them and want them to be safe, healthy, and successful!
Now that is an accomplishment!

So how much does a school cost?
Off the Mat Into the World and Ambassadors for Children have partnered with Building Tomorrow to build a primary school, housing for all seven teachers and their families and develop a farm on the school’s property, all for $125,000.
Without housing, it is not uncommon for teachers in Uganda to walk long distances to and from work each morning or live separate from their families. Without providing a meal at school, students often must go an entire school day without eating.
Monies raised during the Seva Challenge will give hundreds of students the same opportunities we so often take for granted-the opportunity to receive an education.

Bricks, Pigs and School Fees...
Part of the proceeds of my project go to Shanti Uganda, to build a new birthing/vocational center for HIV women.
It's been 4 months since the last group of women graduated from Shanti Uganda's vocational program and began making an income. Friends ask them where they work because they see them improving day and night--they respond that it is an Angel which came from above and brought Shanti Uganda which causes great change in their lives. When asked what they had achieved through Shanti Uganda's vocational program, they responded:
Nakaggwe Florence bought a bicycle now doing bodaboda (bodas are what we ride to get around in uganda - this means she's started up her own bike taxi business) in Kasana getting daily income and also bought pigs.
Nakiganda daisy bought pigs and paid school fees for kids
Nassuna Hadijah bought shoes and paid school fees for children
Nankinga Grace bought bedding and bought pigs
Namusisi Jaria bought 2000brics for her to start building a house paid school fees for her children.
Naamala Edith bought a phone and pigs .
Nampa Veronica bought 3000brics for her house and bedding.
Nakkazi Racheal bought beddings and put more money in her farming and also paying school fees for her children.
Nakyanzi Rose bought pigs and paid school fees
Nakanwagi Lydia bought doors for her house and paid school fees.
Yvonne Ssenvuma put electricity in her house and paid school fees for her children.
Nalubega Prosy bought suitcase, pigs, phone, bedding and paid school fees.
