This Christmas Give the Christmas Gift that Keeps on Giving – EDUCATION

                 Starlight Family Community Christmas Last Year

Starlight Family Charity School provides much needed support and free primary level education to over 100 disadvantaged children in the parish of Kibale , Kiboga, Uganda helping them and the community towards a better future.  This Christmas they are fundraising to reopen the school after being closed down due to the COVID restrictions in Uganda. I have been supporting them for six years now and have experienced first hand how the school benefits the children by giving them access to education and much more.  Please read their message below:

Dear friends,
                           we have been very blessed at Christmas in previous years to receive generous donations in order to celebrate with the children from Starlight Family School as well as the children from Starlight Family Children's home. Your  kindness and generosity has meant that we were able to host a party for all the children providing a nourishing meal and give small gifts and clothing to those most in need.
This year is different. Sadly we will not be able to host a party for all of the children due to the pandemic restrictions in Uganda. We are also acutely aware that the main gift that we provide for the children, that is the gift of education, is currently on hold because we lack the funds to make the school COVID secure in order to be allowed to continue operating. As you may have also seen the school is in need of repairs as the roof of one of the buildings blew off in a recent storm.

For these reasons we feel that if we can raise money through the spirit of Christmas giving it would be best spent towards getting the school ready to open in the new year. The education that we were able to give the children is important for their quality of life now and in the future. Although currently we are only allowed to open the school for the top class we would like to be ready for when the restrictions are lifted and we can offer education for all of the children.
Our funding target is £3,000
Three fifths of this is to repair the school. A fifth of this to make the school COVID ready and a  fifth of this would provide the necessary running costs for a term.
We thank you for your kindness. If you are unable to help financially we would very much appreciate you sharing this campaign with friends, family and acquaintances.

Finally we would like to add that if anyone specifically wishes to donate so the children in the home can have a Christmas celebration they can do this via  our PayPal account  but please let us know what the donation is for .

Wishing You Christmas Blessings and a Healthy New Year.
