Fr. Adrian works with schools near his parish to find children who want to be in class and whose families cannot pay the fees. These four are our first cohort. They are between five and nine years old, and their school year begins in January 2027.
Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support. I love going to school and I am working hard. I love reading storybooks, singing, dancing and drawing, and I help my father at home. I like rice and chicken, matooke, and fruit like mango and pineapple. I play rope skipping, netball and football with my friends. I pray for you every day.
I love making new friends, I am good at music and drama, and I love visiting new places. I like eating matooke, rice and meat. I want to be a doctor or a teacher.
I love music. I love chips and chicken. I want to be a lawyer.
I love football very much. I like swimming, touring and reading interesting children’s books. I like eating matooke and chicken. I want to be a doctor or a footballer.
Fr. Adrian chose these four himself, visiting schools near his parish while awaiting his assignment. Their school year begins in January 2027.
There is no application form and no algorithm. Fr. Adrian knows the schools and the families. He identifies children who are eager to learn and whose families genuinely cannot cover the fees, and he brings those names to the board.
As support grows, we add students. That is the only limit: how many children we can keep in school at $1,500 a year each.
