The Ungana Foundation has been working tirelessly this month on a multitude of projects. The hard work that the associates have been exerting towards the goals of this organization can be seen in the many recent successes Ungana has experienced.
Ungana is focused on what we believe are the four pillars of development: Education, Entrepreneurialism, Health, and Environmentalism. Ungana has moved ahead with projects in both Rwanda (Gisenyi) and Congo (Goma) based on these core missions
The Ungana Foundation just completed a pilot education program at a second primary school in Gisenyi without the XO Laptops. This program highlighted the Ungana Foundations emphasis on English, money management, and health education to primary schools. The Ungana Foundation hosted five volunteers from various universities in the United States that each taught different subjects in the program. The program went extremely well and we expect to use the structure of the program with a few modifications at multiple schools in the area.
In addition to the primary school education the Ungana Foundation is also holding weekend English tutoring for educators in Gisenyi. Rwanda is currently switching from a Francophone to an Anglophone country and as such will be mandating instruction in English. This has been extremely difficult for the teachers as English is not their first language. Almost all schools in the area that we have spoken to have expressed a strong desire for a program designed to help this transition. The Ungana Foundation has been quick to oblige and we hope to help many educators in the area achieve their goals.
