Exciting Times at the Resource Centre

Posted by Kristopher Schmitz on Thursday, February 17, 2011

 

The centre has been alive with activity during the past month. The large room, which was dirt floor and bare bricks when Brent and Kris arrived, has now been used for HIV/AIDS and hygiene information sessions, English classes for the adults in the community and school visits.  Our information sessions both attracted over 100 people while the two school visits had 90 students each.  Thank you once again to everyone who contributed to the completion of this room.  We hope this shows that there...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Thank You!

While Brent and Kris have been away from the centre and Igombe for a small break for the holidays much activity has been going on.  The floor has been completed in the large room with a few minor adjustments still remaining.  Windows have been installed in the room to provide protection from the sun and prying eyes.  While most of the donations we have received have gone towards construction of this new room, we also have bought some new games and activities that visitors to the centre have s...

Construction Begins!

Posted by Kristopher Schmitz on Tuesday, December 14, 2010
The resource centre has been very busy in the past week.  From the generous donations we have received we have bought cement, one load of lake sand and two loads of plaster sand.  The builders are at the centre today beginning construction on the floor and walls of the large room.  We have decided that the room should be used as soon as it is done and we are optimistically planning to host a Christmas party there on the 25th of December.  Many people in the community suggested we host a party...

Hygiene Information Session

Posted by Kristopher Schmitz on Tuesday, November 30, 2010
Yesterday we held our first information session in the community of Igombe.  We have decided to hold information sessions in order to both educate the people of Igombe and surrounding areas and notify people about what the centre has to offer.  We scheduled the meeting for 2 o’clock so people could return from church and have time to visit us.  At about ten minutes after 2 there was exactly zero people at the location we had chosen.  We were not discouraged as we have learned this is how th...

The Nambi Sseppuuya Community Resource Centre

Welcome to the Nambi Sseppuuya Community Resource Centre Blog.  We have started this blog in order to inform people around the world what is occurring at The Nambi Sseppuuya Community Resource Centre in Igombe, Uganda.  Igombe is located in the sub county of Buwenge in Jinja District.  The resource centre was started by Justin Kiyimba in memory of his late daughter who passed away in 2002.  The Kiyimba family had an idea to create a resource centre in their rural community and create a commun...
