Christmas Party 2008

Status: Finished

Last year the community organized a very successful Christmas party with the support of neighbours from around the world. This year they would like to organize a similar party, but require your assistance again!

If you have ideas, contacts or items to make the party a special day for the children of Kyomya, please post here or contact David. Some ways people helped last year was by raising funds and by donating small gifts for the children.

Hello,

Well how would I go about to contributes some small gifts as well? Is there a way to purchase them and send ? Or perhaps for some soda and cakes, I just am not sure how to go about it.

There will be reading of school reports for the children, awarding prizes to children/students who will have excelled in academics,good behaviour,smartness,etc. The Parish Vicar will be invited to provide a sermon,counsel the children,guardians,etc.There will be nice food,drinks,decorations,music and plays during the day. all this will be held under our tent and open space at the village office. we are still discussing the draft budget for the party with our 2 facilitators and once we have agreed, we shall post it here online.

I am ordering them from a company here in the US and will have them shipped to either myself or Ginger and then we will ship them through the US post service to David and KSP in Uganda. Not cheap shipping but that's the best we can do for now. I know David can get many nice items in Jinja or Kampala if you wish to send funds.
