it's the little things ...
"Where's the money going to exactly? What happens with the money? Who knows if it'll really arrive where I want it to?" A lot of people would like to donate to charity but are insecure about whether the money will really arrive where it is supposed to. What people give to Julian and me will go directly to the children at Abato.
To collect some money my dad and I put together a handmade savings box, which my mum placed at the reception of her office. To inform the people about the Abato Foundation I also designed a flyer. We hope that our savings box will be filled until August so that we can bring the savings directly to Abato.

the sewing machines are buzzing...
It is difficult to get a job without having graduated - especially for young women.
Abato managed to purchase six sewing machines and started a new project. The Abato Foundation wants to give young mothers that dropped out of school an opportunity to learn a specific profession: They measure, cut, and sew, until they finish the education programm and become a proud tailor. Right now the women in the tailoring school are making alot of new school uniforms for the children of Abato Junior School. They are doing such a great job in a very short time, you just have to take a look at the adorable uniforms the children are wearing to school. All thanks to these young women.

King Arthur
Even through this is not directly linked to Abato it is still a huge thing for the friends of Abato and of course for the founders and leaders Moses ans Kirabo. The Kalanzi famliy has been blessed with a new member: On the 12th of February Arthur Mark Kalanzi has been born. Everything went well and the parents couldn't be more happy and proud. The little fellah will enlighten our days when we are finally in Uganda.
