                    CT. Since its 2007 inception, the organization has grown through individual, academic and civic partnerships, grants,
                    and generous donor relationships to take on many projects helping vulnerable children in Uganda through health
                    and education initiatives. Projects include the drilling and implementation of 33 borehole wells that are now providing
                    clean and safe water to tens of thousands of people, delivering hundreds of mosquito nets to those threatened by
                    malaria, coordinating sponsorship programs with schools both locally and abroad, and spearheading a school build
                    project in the unreached district of Kaberamaido. Several area Rotary Clubs have been sponsors since 2008 and this
                    project is our Global Grant for the present year. After a power point presentation,Martha led an informative question
