Earlier this year, the digital camera that was used to visually document exciting news and progress being made at Arrow-Web Hospital was stolen when Bramuel was ambushed by a group of robbers on his way home from a conference. Since that time, he has not been able to replace it.

The education centre has established a small library, but it needs to be filled with books and resource materials.

Within the next year, Notre Dame High School hopes to expand it's vocational training program to offer students invaluable job skills training. One of the things that Christopher has done is conduct an extensive survey of the local community and community needs. There has been some previous discussion about exploring options such as establishing a piggery, planting a garden at the school to support the food requirements of the students while teaching agriculture skills, etc.

Dear Sir,Madam,friends,

The information,for this project is on this website.

At the present time, there are 7 students at Notre Dame High School sick from Malaria. Last week, there were 10 students sick with Malaria. It is the rainy season in Masaka and they fully expect that Malaria cases will rise.

In order to combat Malaria, they would like to utilize mosquito nets in the new dormitories, but not all students or teachers can afford to purchase them. In Uganda, a treated mosquito net can cost Ug shs 15000, and an untreated one costs around Ug shs 10000.

Christopher is considering adding a page on a school website pertaining to orphaned children who are unable to pay their school fees. Notre Dame High School has many orphans. They have read about the program that was started in the Matopeni village and are considering trying to replicate it at their school.

As a long-term goal, Notre Dame High School would like to one day purchase a mini-bus. This would be used to transport children to school and also to workshops/seminars. At the present time, there are not finances available to do this.

For this task we would like to research alternative transportation solutions. Some of the children come to school from very far away. Some live nearby as well, but others have to walk between 2-5 miles to/from the school location. One of the options that has been mentioned in previous discussion is use of bicycles.

For many girls at Notre Dame High School, going to school during a monthly menstrual cycle is not possible without feminine hygiene products such as sanitary pads. Disposable pads are expensive and many simply cannot afford these.

There are alternative options for making reusable, cloth sanitary pads. For this task, we would like your input and information on different options available so that we can explore a solution that can be easily implemented with the girls at our school.

Recently 4 students from the school had to travel 105 miles, by taxi, in order to take National Exams because the school lacked the necessary lab equipment.
