For 7 young people started on Monday the 2 – year vocational training at the Mummys Institute in Masaka.
The training includes 4 semesters. The young people are very happy and thank their sponsors from the bottom of their hearts, because without their sponsors this training would not be possible!
Detailed information about the school and the different trainings can be found on https://www.mummysinstitute.com/.
Starterset for vocational training
Starting in the 2023 school year, there will be changes in the curriculum for Secondary Schools, thus also for Buloba College.
In a nutshell, a Secondary School will now offer a competency-based curriculum that includes compulsory practical electives such as agriculture, art and design, woodworking and metalworking, nutrition and food technology, or foreign languages, in addition to compulsory subjects such as English, mathematics, science, etc. The reason and advantages of this school reform in Uganda are that after the six years at a secondary school, the students have completed their school education and at the same time have acquired a practical skill corresponding to their potential and abilities! These skills are proven by the certificates acquired, they are recognized on the labor market and enable the young people to finance their own lives directly after graduation.
It is planned that Katinka and three other members will fly to Uganda on 10.07.2023.
They are happy to take letters or a small gift for the sponsored children with them!
For one of our nurse trainees, the 5th and thus last semester started in February. We wish her every success, as well as the four others who are currently completing their third semester.
February 2023
The well construction project has been completed!!!
On the first pictures you can see how the children used to have to fetch water. On the following pictures how much easier it is now.
The young mothers of the organization EYMCBO proudly show their first self-sewn GOMAZI 😊👏
With the sale of the self-sewn clothes, the mothers should be able to finance their own livelihood in the future. We support this sewing school with the direction of Nansubuga Winnie with donations for fabrics, sewing material, b.B. sewing machines and the rent for the room in which they sew and a common bedroom, as the daily way would be too far and dangerous for some women. These young mothers and the sewing school depend on our financial support😇🍀🙏
Every donation is valuable, no donation amount is too small !!!!
The school year at Kids Care Primary School has also started for 140 of our children.
We wish them all a good time and much success !!!
Many thanks to all sponsors who make school attendance possible.
Monday was the 1st day of school for the 2023 school year for our students at Buloba Collage.

Last weekend was the Christmas party at the Kids Care Primary School for all our children and adolescents.

Congratulations to Ruth!!! We are mighty proud!!!
It is with deep regret that we have learned of the death of Maria Citra Nambasa.
She was one of our sponsored children who was already sick for a year and therefore unfortunately had to drop out of school last year.
Maria Citra complained of headaches and fever. Unfortunately, she passed away in the evening at home while on her way to the hospital.
We are deeply shocked and extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to Maria Citra’s family.

We say thank you from the bottom of our hearts, dear Doris from Regensburg ❤️💙
With joy we look back on the past few weeks, in which Eric and Robert were visiting.😊
In addition to the official appointments, which were very valuable for our cooperation, the two also visited various sights. 💕 They learned a lot during their stay! For example, they got to know the school system in Germany in the elementary and middle school in Laaber and the Realschule in Parsberg. 📚 This was not only educational for the two of them, but also a great opportunity for the students and teachers to see what an education in Uganda can do! 😊
It was nice to see the great curiosity and willingness to learn with which Eric and Robert gained new insights and experiences.❤❤ We are very proud and grateful for the reliable cooperation. 🙏💕
Gifting footballs to your sponsored children ⚽️
Our project managers Eric and Robert were invited by the Kirner family to their show „Da Deifi is los“. The Regensburg farmer’s theater is celebrating its 101-year anniversary. The Kirner family are very committed sponsors and members of U.V.C.O. Uganda e.V. and support 6 godchildren in Uganda💛
On Saturday was the meeting with our members and sponsors. 😊
After a meal together, Eric and Robert presented their organization E.C.H.O. and their duties as board member and project manager on site. 💕 The presentation expressed mutual appreciation and gratitude. We are very happy that Eric, Robert and their team are giving the children and young people the chance for a self-determined future! ❤ Afterwards, our committed member Lisa Baier gave a wonderful presentation about the stay in Uganda in June. The performance not only gave a nice insight into the current well-being of our U.V.C.O. children, but also made us want to visit Uganda 😍😍✈ The evening was musically supported by Emma and her dad Manfred 😊🎶 We would like to thank all participants and guests for the wonderful evening. The missing 1’000 euros for the well construction project could actually be collected that evening. So, it can be completed soon 😍😍
A big thank you for that! 🙏❤❤ Of course, we are particularly proud of Eric and Robert, who were sponsored by the association as children and are now running the organization on site as partners 😍😍❤
They are happy and proud to be able to show their talents.
We are really excited. 😍
Thanks to our team at E.C.H.O.
We would like to thank Mrs. Monika Traubinger from Eglsee for her great donation of 480€. 🙏🥰
A 60th birthday and instead of receiving presents herself, the birthday child gives presents to our children in Uganda!
Eric Mugwanya and Robert Muwange, the project managers and board members of the organization E.C.H.O. from Uganda, arrived safely in Germany on October 4th, 2022. The two are trained and by getting to know each other personally, our cooperation should be strengthened. We wish them both an exciting time with valuable experiences!
On Friday, Eric and Robert visited the elementary and middle school in Laaber and introduced themselves to the students with a presentation, dance and music.
They thank the two schools very much for the valuable support.

Instead of giving herself a present for her 30th birthday, E. from Munich donated €250 for our 11-year-old Anitah, who was diagnosed with a heart defect. This valuable donation will pay for Anitah’s medical expenses at a hospital and her medical treatment.
With another donation of 250€ from E. from Munich, we can buy a bed, mattress, bedding, milk, food and clothes for 6-month-old Timothy. Timothy suddenly lost his mother on April 22, his father is unknown. He lives with his grandmother who needs support herself.
We thank the dear donor from the bottom of our hearts for her valuable support. 💕
If you would like to donate to emergency situations like this, whether monthly or as a one-off donation, please go to the donation account. Purpose: Gesundheitsfond (health fund).
Every euro is so valuable!
Baby Timothy has found a loving foster family that ensures basic care and a sheltered place to sleep with monthly donations. We are very happy to help baby Timothy and his grandmother. The foster family enables Timothy to have a good childhood until school starts!

In bright sunshine, the patron Mrs. Pastor Sibylle Thürmel was able to open the charity run of the elementary and middle school Laaber on the sports field. In advance, the children independently looked for sponsors for their run and organized a flea market as a supporting program. The 7th graders sold fruit skewers.
Also this year, the running group of the St. Franziskus kindergarten was happy to run and donate.
We would like to thank all participants as well as Martina Holzapfel and the teaching team of the elementary and middle school in Laaber for this great donation!
A dream came true 🥰🥳
Thanks to a generous, anonymous donation of €10,000, we were able to buy a car for our organization E.C.H.O. and set aside a portion for initial repairs and/or wearing parts. Having your own car means independence and flexibility, being able to drive to the doctor or hospital immediately in an emergency.
The visits of the children at the schools and also with their families can take place at any time. Costs are saved for the driver and the rental car.
We thank the generous donor from the bottom of our hearts ❤

Good news… schools are reopening
In Uganda, schools are finally reopening after 83 weeks of school closure! Due to the coronavirus, the schools were closed until now.
Here are a few nice impressions of the children and adolescents who were very happy about the start of school! 😊
Our elementary school students have prepared for the drive to the private primary school near Masaka/Kirinda. Since there is still a lot to be settled at our Uplift School, we are very happy to be able to accommodate the children temporarily in the boarding school. And they are very happy to finally be back in school after such a long time! ❤️
We also wish our students at Buloba College a good start and much success 📚🍀 Suitable for college start with new black shoes 😍 Together with the 43 children who start with S.1 at Buloba College, 93 students are at a secondary school to successfully complete their exams after 4 or 6 years. 😊 We also wish the 4 apprentice nurses at the Keytume school and the 3 apprentices at the IMLS every success, a good time and, above all, a year without interruptions 🙏💕
Apprenticeship can be started
These three guys are starting a 2 year car mechanic apprenticeship at Bukenya Garage in Nyendo.
Paul, Vincent and Patrick
The purely practical apprenticeship costs the equivalent of 500€ for these 2 years. 125€ pocket money for the first 6 months, after that they can work out their own pocket money in this workshop. That will be around €26/month.
On January 3rd, 2022 the first semester started for our four nurse apprentices at the Keytume school!!!!
The training will last 5 semesters over 2 1/2 years.
We wish Sumayya, Maxy, Janice and Hope Violet a great start!

Pupils from Laaber raise 4’469.90 euros for U.V.C.O. Uganda e.V.
In bright sunshine, the patron Mrs. Pastor Sibylle Thürmel was able to open the charity run of the elementary and middle school Laaber on the sports field. In advance, the children independently looked for sponsors for their run and organized a flea market as a supporting program. The 7th graders sold fruit skewers.
Also this year, the running group of the St. Franziskus kindergarten was happy to run and donate.
We would like to thank all participants as well as Martina Holzapfel and the teaching team of the elementary and middle school in Laaber for this great donation!
A dream came true 🥰🥳
Thanks to a generous, anonymous donation of €10,000, we were able to buy a car for our organization E.C.H.O. and set aside a portion for initial repairs and/or wearing parts. Having your own car means independence and flexibility, being able to drive to the doctor or hospital immediately in an emergency.
The visits of the children at the schools and also with their families can take place at any time. Costs are saved for the driver and the rental car.
We thank the generous donor from the bottom of our hearts ❤

Good news… schools are reopening
In Uganda, schools are finally reopening after 83 weeks of school closure! Due to the coronavirus, the schools were closed until now.
Here are a few nice impressions of the children and adolescents who were very happy about the start of school! 😊
Our elementary school students have prepared for the drive to the private primary school near Masaka/Kirinda. Since there is still a lot to be settled at our Uplift School, we are very happy to be able to accommodate the children temporarily in the boarding school. And they are very happy to finally be back in school after such a long time! ❤️
We also wish our students at Buloba College a good start and much success 📚🍀 Suitable for college start with new black shoes 😍 Together with the 43 children who start with S.1 at Buloba College, 93 students are at a secondary school to successfully complete their exams after 4 or 6 years. 😊 We also wish the 4 apprentice nurses at the Keytume school and the 3 apprentices at the IMLS every success, a good time and, above all, a year without interruptions 🙏💕
Apprenticeship can be started
These three guys are starting a 2 year car mechanic apprenticeship at Bukenya Garage in Nyendo.
Paul, Vincent and Patrick
On January 3rd, 2022 the first semester started for our four nurse apprentices at the Keytume school!!!!
The training will last 5 semesters over 2 1/2 years.
We wish Sumayya, Maxy, Janice and Hope Violet a great start!
We hope that we can continue with good news 😃
