The talented youth seen here were drinking swamp water while living at this location. It's all they had. Tugume Gerald, founder of this orphanage and school in Kanungu District, western Uganda, has since been able to develop a whole new building complex from the ground up at a new location funded entirely through support from the Action Hero Network and CHAT to the Future.
Gerald sent me(Cory Richardson) back to Canada with a backpack full of beads made by kids and ladies in the community to support this effort. These necklaces, sold by students at Saint John High School, raised over $7000-- all sent back to Gerald, who then used it to create the new school classrooms and feed the 130 youth.
This new location has a spring with clean drinking water and a huge tree where we will build our dream treehouse. Many dreams are coming true through clarity of vision, creativity and common unity. Join us in this adventure in humanity... to create alternate realities for both locals and visitors as we discover how to live sustainably in harmony with nature.
