We are glad to inform you that our three candidates from the technical school that sat from St. Joseph’s national examinations last year all passed with credits. We are also proud to announce that the school is now offering 6 courses with the addition of Mechanics. These include:

• Carpentry and joinery
• Hairdressing
• Brick laying and concrete practice
• Computer studies
• Tailoring/Knitting and
• Motor Vehicle Mechanics

The children and staff at Miryante are grateful for the 3 volunteers who visited in July: Chad, Mike, and Dr. Craig. They surprised kids with a lot of donations. These included a projector, balls, clothes, and art supplies as seen in the pictures below.

They also had a chance to visit the children they are sponsoring.

We also thank them for taking four of our older children who are about to graduate on safari with them so that the children could have a chance to see the animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Miryante would like to thank the United Nations Women’s Guild for their generous donation of 4,987,500/=. We have used it to expand the farm by clearing 9.5 acres of land and installing a new barbed wire fence to keep the cows and goats in. The money was also used in the construction of hand washing stations for all of the pit latrines.

We would really like to end with a word of deep thanks for our hardworking staff and generous donors for helping to keep these children happy and healthy.

Thank You,

Management
