Dear Doctor K,
How are you doing? My names are Musinguzi Titus in
Primary six at SPACC. I am the head boy and the best
English speaker at our school. I have sent you a photo,
where am standing with my Dad and Sister, infront
of our house. Our house is made of reeds, mud, wood
and its grass thatched in the shape of a hut.Infront
of us is a maize plant. My sister is in primary two
and she is twelve years old. We are staying very far
away from school, like 7km, so many times my sister’s
studies have been delayed. We are of the hope that
we make you our friend. God bless you!! Regards, Titus.

Dear Doctor K,
My name is Savio in primary two at SPACC. My teacher
tells me that am the most stubborn boy in our class
but I have always been the first in academics. I love
to play football and to pretend that I am crying for
teachers to ask why, so that I laugh at them! Doctor
K, I love you and would love you to be your friend.
Is this possible? In the attached photo, is my Grandmother
I stay with and my two relatives at our home. I am the
first from the left. Hope you will write back. Yours
sincerely, Savio

| Letter
from the teachers:
Hallo
there, SPACC stands for Springs Alive Childen's Centre.
The Centre accomodates all sorts of children i.e. those
with parents, orphans, disabled, deafs, dumb, some who
can afford to pay and those who cannot afford.
Our intentions are to see that all children in the community
get access to education. We handle children according
to their way of life regardless of whether they do contribute
anything or not.
90%
of these children cannot afford to pay the $5 we ask
from them per term which is 3 months, which is usually
teacher's expenses and sometimes keeps the school running
like buying chalk. It is not so easy to teach miserable
and hungry children moreover when you do not have any
money in your pocket, nontheless we try our best. Though
we do not have enough resources like money,classrooms
and sometimes study under tree shades,we remain hopeful
that one day the sun of grace will shine on us.
Most
of our fellow teachers have left given the tough way
of survival we go through. Surely there is a call for
help to the teachers of SPACC for the sake of the innocent
young ones at SPACC and the community at large. Also
limited scholarist materials is a big challenge. Teachers
have to look for teaching materials elsewhere. Kindly
save the children!!
Among
the needed support include: Scholarist materials e.g.textbooks,furniture(class
desks),sports eqipment etc . More classrooms need to
be built . Teacher's salaries . At least a cup of porridge
for each child at lunch time. Teacher's meals.

Teachers at SPACC
