Thank you Watoto, Uganda

It was a privilege to spend close to three weeks at Watoto in Uganda. Watoto is a school with over 1000 students (K-12). These beautiful kids are mostly orphans, and each one has an incredible story of being rescued, loved and being given a life of hope and purpose.

Working most evenings in 'Baby Watoto' feeding the newborns and playing with the toddlers before bedtime was both fun, and exhausting. 

Rowena and I had such a wonderful time - thank you Watoto for your love, warmth, generosity and kindness. You really looked after us and you treated us as family. You will remain in our hearts and prayers and we look forward to returning.

My days were full and busy. Some of the things I did during my stay included;
  • working with the Educational Leadership team on strategic planning, change management, policy development, identifying and managing risk and curriculum
  • individual leadership coaching with the Campus Head Teachers 
  • team building workshops
  • working with teachers and watching them teach
  • presenting 5 motivational talks on the value and influence of a teacher and also on 21st Century Education. I spoke to the staff teams across the 5 campuses - two high schools, 2 primary and the Hope Technical Institute.
  • working with the Watoto Church leaders 
  • meeting some incredible kids!
I have grown from the experience, I was stretched and challenged and I was inspired! Thank you!
