Graduation - Ceremony at ALCCU School 🧑🏾‍🎓🎈 In Uganda, when kids move from kindergarten to primary school, we celebrate them with a graduation ceremony at the end of the school year. 👩🏾‍🎓💛🧑🏾‍🎓 The Kindergarten in Uganda 🇺🇬 is divided into 3 classes: 🖤 Baby class 💛 Middle class ❤️ Top class Many thanks - webale nyo - to all our local teachers in Kawuula/Mubende for another successful school year! 😊👏 PS: It was the first time in their lives that our children had received such a huge cake and they were overwhelmed - hence the serious look on their faces. 🎂

✨️🎄 Christmas Donation Project 🎁❤️

The days are getting colder and shorter, the first snowflakes dance across the sky and cover
the landscape in a soft white blanket. There‘s a certain magic in the air - we all know it‘s time! Christmas is here and another year is entering its final spurt.
For us at ALCCU CARES, a very special time lies ahead. Once again this year, we would like to bring a little Christmas joy to our children and their families. Our school, which is currently attended by 350 children and teenagers, has continued to grow and develop into something great over the past few years. We started constructing a building for the secondary school last year. The buildings are already standing, but still need to be roofed over and the walls plastered. Doors and windows also need to be installed and the two new classes set up before lessons can begin. So that our children can graduate from the ALCCU CARES school, this year we have set ourselves the goal of completing the buildings and buying school furniture. The costs for completion amount to approx. 30,000,000 Uganda shillings (approx. € 7,500). Added to this are the costs for school furniture and textbooks of a further 30,000,000 Ugandan shillings (approx. € 7,500). To ensure that each child receives a small Christmas present from all of us again this year, we have decided to give each child a blanket for the cool nights, for which we need approx. 12,000,000 Uganda shillings (approx. € 3,000). Every euro goes a long way towards improving the future and quality of life of the next generation of Mubende and making the eyes of the children, young people and their families shine. ✨️ With your help, we will try to raise the necessary funds. Thank you for your support over the years. Without your donations, we would not be where we are today. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾 The ALCCU team wishes you all the best and a Merry Christmas.❤️🎄

Webale nyo Georg Berger (Workcamp Volunteer):

"Work Camp 2024 was amazing and surprising, new experiences at any moment. I will never forget the friendly people, laughing children and their way of living. Everything was so total different to what I was used to. Thanks to everybody for having me for 4 weeks and opening my mind to new dimensions. I liked it and my thoughts will always be with you in Kawula."

Paten - Briefaustausch / Exchange letters 💌

Während des Workcamps haben wir den Patenkindern die Briefe ihrer österreichischen und deutschen Pat*innen ausgeteilt und die Kinder dabei unterstützt, Antwortbriefe zu schreiben. Die Freude war, wie jedes Jahr, unbeschreiblich groß und es war wunderschön die strahlenden und glücklichen Kinderaugen zu sehen!! 🤩♥️

During the workcamp we gave out the letters of the sponsors (godparents) to our kids. They were very happy and grateful! 🙏💙

New school bags for our children 😃❤️

Together with the donations from our sponsors (Pat*innen) and the money collected by our volunteer Georg in Austria, we were able to buy school bags for all of our 350 children.
Big thanks, webale nyo, to everyone who supports us. ❤️

The children are very very happy about their gift! 🥰🙏🏼

We want to thank our three last Volunteers of this year 2023 for their voluntary work, their love and their time with us!! 🤗❤️ Read about their experiences with ALCCU in Uganda 🇺🇬

Sarah:
"My time in Uganda was one of the best experiences I have had in my life. You could feel the warmth and gratitude every day. I felt at home from the very first day. It was a very special time. ✨ We had countless wonderful moments, lots of funny, crazy, exciting and unique experiences. New friendships were formed. My gratitude cannot be put into words. My time in Uganda will always have an important place in my heart. MANY THANKS for this formative time!" ❤️🙏

Lena:
"During my internship with ALCCU in Uganda, I had the opportunity to work as a nurse in a local hospital. The warmth and friendliness of the people left a lasting impression, and I felt genuinely welcomed from the start. This experience not only enhanced my professional skills but also broadened my perspective in numerous ways. Uganda will always hold a special place in my heart as a destination marked by friendly people and enriching encounters – an adventure I wholeheartedly recommend and one that will stay with me forever." ❤️

Maria:
"My experience in Uganda 🇺🇬 had a profound impact on my life. It was an extraordinary opportunity that allowed me to step away from my daily routine and usual comforts and immerse myself in a completely different reality, rich with a beauty that defies description. During my time there, I learned about a new culture, cultivated valuable connections, and received genuine love and warmth from the local people, feelings that will stay with me forever. I would like to express my gratitude to all the people at the hospital with whom I worked, as well as to ALCCU, for giving me the opportunity to look at life through completely new perspectives." Thank u Uganda 🇺🇬🧡

✨❤️ Weihnachtsspendenprojekt 🎄🌟

Advent, Advent ein Lichtlein brennt - erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier, dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür. 👼🏼✨

Wir möchten unseren Kindern und ihren Familien auch heuer wieder eine kleine Weihnachtsfreude bereiten. Unsere Schule, welche derzeit rund 350 Kinder und Jugendliche besuchen, durfte in den vergangenen Jahren weiterwachsen und sich zu etwas Großartigem entwickeln. Mit der wachsenden Zahl an Schüler:innen und deren Bedürfnissen steigt auch der Bedarf an einer Sekundarstufe und den somit verbundenen Räumlichkeiten auf unserem Schulareal. Unser Ziel von ALCCU ist es, qualitativ hochwertige und nachhaltige Bildung sowie ein gutes lebenswertes Umfeld zu schaffen. Deshalb wollen wir unser Schulareal um ein weiteres Gebäude und eine Klasse der Sekundarstufe erweitern. Durch den Ausbau unserer Schule zu einer Secondary School ermöglichen wir den Absolvent:innen der Primarstufen einen Schulabschluss (Matura) und eine noch bessere Chance um eine gutes selbstbestimmtes Leben führen zu können. Die Gesamtkosten des Schulausbaus belaufen sich umgerechnet ca. auf 12.000 Euro – das sind in etwa 50 Millionen Uganda-Schilling.

Und falls ihr heute einen guten Tag habt, vielleicht ein paar Euros über habt und Lust habt etwas Gutes zu tun, freuen wir uns wahnsinnig über eure Unterstützung und jeden Cent, Euro und Beitrag, den wir aufbringen können! Um unsere Schulkinder auch am 24. Dezember zu überraschen, wird ein geringer Betrag der Spenden für ein kleines Geschenk für jedes Kind verwendet. 🎁

Vielen Dank für euer großes Herz und euer Vertrauen! 🙏❤️

Damit wir das Geld gesammelt nach Uganda schicken können, bitten wir euch, die Spenden bis Weihnachten auf folgendes Konto zu überweisen:

Vortrag: "Soziale Projekte im Herzen Ugandas" ❤️🇺🇬🌍

Unsere Obfrau Larissa und die Volontärin Isabell haben gemeinsam in den letzten Wochen 2 Vorträge gehalten. Diese Vorträge haben Einblicke in die unterschiedlichen Projekte von ALCCU, sowie in das Land, die Leute und die Kultur Ugandas geboten. Gemeinsam haben sie mit vielen Fotos und Videos von ihren Erlebnissen und Erfahrungen berichtet und die afrikanische Lebensfreude auf die Besucher*innen übertragen. 😍☀️ Im Anschluss wurden die von Larissa selbstgenähten Kreationen aus afrikanischen Stoffen gegen eine freiwillige Spende verkauft. 🇺🇬

Wir bedanken uns vielmals bei allen, die gekommen sind und uns unterstützt haben!! Der Erlös geht zu 100% nach Mubende/Uganda zu unseren Schulkindern. ❤️

Webale nyo!! 😊🙏
