Letter Exchange With Friends In Uganda!

Thanks to Paula Vicenzi for bringing this wonderful opportunity for global connection and learning to our students and for this recent update about communicating with our friends in Uganda!

Five years ago, Charlie Roscoe and his wife Susan (founders for Schools for Refugees) reached out to HMS to begin an exchange of letters with the students from the St. Bakhita School in Uganda. The school is located in the UN settlement about five hours from the capital of Kampala.

 

All students in Uganda are required to learn English so Charlie and Susan deliver our students' letters twice a year when they visit St. Bakhita. They return with beautiful, heartfelt, handwritten letters, which our HMS students devour as quickly as they can, anxious for news about their new friends! 

Our students are learning a lot about life at St. Bakhita and Uganda and are hard at work on their responses to the latest batch of letters.
